Vehicles on Inlet Beach

[InletBchDweller]

At the end of South Walton Lakeshore Drive in Inlet Beach there is an opening where vehicles get onto the sand. There is NOW 2 signs that are in the middle of the beach that say "no vehicles past this point". The signs are only about 100?? ft apart so only about 6? vehicles could actually park there.

Question: I guess I am safe to assume that I can take my permitted vehicle onto the beach and park between the signs???

I called the Sheriffs office but they did not know....

I bet they will suddenly know if you drive on the beach and park between the signs.

Well we have done it for the last 2 days. If we get arrested I will let you know....;-)

Just an FYI, and you may already know, but you do need a permit.

From the Walton County Code of Ordinances (these are the only two areas where driving is currently allowed on the beach. There are two more locations, but they are still "temporarily closed"):



Designated limited access areas means the following described locations:

(1) Grayton Beach: An area extending the distance of beach described in the lease between Walton County and State of Florida Internal Improvement Trust Fund/Bureau of State Lands, Number 3884, dated October 1986.

(2) Inlet Beach: An area extending from the west boundary line of Lakeshore Drive eastward for a distance of 66 feet.

I forgot to include the link to the Ordinances. Here you go. It's under
