WALTON COUNTY, Fla. – Feb. 23 – Walton County Tourism is expanding its free Beach Tram service on Sunday, March 1, connecting municipal parking facilities to regional beach accesses in an effort to ease parking demand and improve beach access. 

Route details are available at WaltonTransportation.com, which will act as an informational hub for the transportation program. 

“This program has been years in the making,” said Tabatha Bolen, transportation manager for WCT. “The entire team has put so much work into making it what it has become. It is exciting to be part of a program that provides a needed service that truly benefits our guests, both visitors and the local community.”

The 393 Municipal Parking Facility (MPF), at 1668 S County Hwy 393, and the Grayton Beach Municipal Parking Facility, at 1505 County S County Hwy 283, are the first two lots that will be on the transportation program.

At 393 MPF, service will run daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. The A-to-B Route will run directly from 393 MPF to Ed Walline Regional Beach Access, departing every 10 minutes. The West Route will include stops at Dune Allen RBA and Fort Panic RBA, departing every 15 minutes.

At Grayton Beach MPF, also known as Grayton Central, the A-to-B Route currently operates from 6 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. daily, with direct service to the corner of Hotz Avenue and Garfield Street every 10 minutes.

Beginning March 1, Grayton Central will add a West Route running from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. with stops at Blue Mountain RBA, Gulfview Heights RBA and 393 MPF. This route will depart every 15 minutes.

A third location, Driftwood Road MPF, will be added to the transportation program after construction is completed. Planned service includes a direct route to Miramar RBA and additional stops along Scenic Gulf Drive. Final route details are pending.
