Can you drive golf carts on the beach at Cape San Blas?
Yes! The required beach permit is included in your rental rate. Golf carts may be operated between sunrise and sunset on the beach.
How do I access the beach with my golf cart?
There are several public beach access sites for golf carts on Cape San Blas. Your rental house may or may not have direct drivable beach access, but you can access several public locations to drive the cart beachside. If you have questions about beach access sites, please ask us or your rental agency for more information.
How old do you have to be to drive a golf cart?
We require our rental drivers to be at least 21 years old OR a licensed driver 16 years or older with a licensed driver 21+. We also ask for proof of a valid driver’s license and car insurance at the time of rental.
Leave No Trace
Remove all belongings (including the rental items) from the beach at night. Gulf County does patrol and will remove any items left on the beach and discard them. The renter is responsible for the replacement of any rental items should this occur, as well as damage and/or lost revenue.
Sea Turtles
Sea Turtle Nesting season is May 1st through October 31st. Please remember during your visit to keep our Gulf County Beaches CLEAN, FLAT, & DARK for our emerging hatchlings and nesting mommas. Please fill in any holes and knock down sand sculptures before leaving the beaches. Beachfront homes are required to have subtle lighting installed; please be mindful of indoor and outdoor lighting and close the blinds or curtains – the lights mimic the moon and disorient turtles and hatchlings.
Fires
Please put out and remove any remnants of beach bonfires by removing the wood/cooled embers. Make sure all wood is deemed suitable for fires (i.e., no nails, skids, trash, etc). You are able to secure a Solo Stove Bonfire rental as an add-on to make bonfires easier.
Please Note: The monitoring of Gulf County Burns Bans is your responsibility and we are not liable.
