Free Rides on the Beach

Free beach rides in eco-friendly style can be found in one place and one place only: the beach.

In 2009 beach resident Dave Green kickstarted a service called "Free Beach Rides." The idea was to give visitors and locals an option to the typical gas guzzling taxi cab. He did just that and more.

The rides are given in a 100% electric cart that is considered to be "green." Did I mention that the drivers are familiar enough with the area to give guests tips on where to go and what to do?

From Pass-A-Grille to John's Pass, Free Beach Rides is completely free and with 7 carts running at once, your wait time is usually less than the competitor's.

Drivers work on a tip basis only, so remember to show some love to these hard workers. They can pick you up from your home, a restaurant, hotel or anywhere else within the designated area.

Call 727-776-7553 to enjoy your free beach ride.
