Guide to Beach Parking and Transportation

Part of the charm of South Walton is the strong culture of connectivity here – visitors leaving their cars behind and setting out to explore and interact on foot or by bike.

However, keeping this pedestrian-friendly vibe achievable requires a concerted effort. Especially at times when more visitors are arriving – sometimes bringing multiple cars per group – the need for coordination and adherence to rules is of the utmost importance. Fortunately, South Walton does a great job of ensuring that the parking situation is well-organized and streamlined for everyone. These 16 beach neighborhoods have Code Compliance guidelines regarding where to leave your car and how ticketing will be handled for any violations.

So, the next time you make your commute over to the sugar-white sand, please be sure to mind any posted signage regarding parking. At the bottom of this article, you’ll find helpful information on the addresses and number of parking spaces for each beach access in Walton County.

Simplify your  parking plans with the Walton County Tourism Department’s complimentary tram service in Grayton Beach. You’ll find convenient parking in the “Grayton Central” lot across from the Hurricane Oyster Bar. From here, the shuttle offers free pick-up and drop-off near the west beach access, running daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. or as needed.

Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) are another popular means of ditching cars and getting around a little easier. Just keep in mind that these are required to follow all the same rules of the road and parking as other street-legal vehicles.

Walton County is also working to better accommodate electric vehicles. With an increasing variety of locations for EV charging stations, it’s becoming much easier to power up. Find your closest spot and plug in!
