They just got tram up and running from Grayton Beach west down to Dune Allen. East routes haven't been announced yet. I'm not sure if it will be this year or not.
Thank you so much for the reply! Crazy that they don't already have something like this for the area. I'm from Pensacola Beach, but we're trying to do something different this year and we're used to everything being close enough to walk to or at least having a trolley to take us all around the beach.
Where are you staying?
Pretty sure the plan is to head east from Grayton down to Seaside and Seagrove but so far only regional accesses are stops. So maybe the new Seagrove regional access about to open acres from Café Thirty-A will be a stop.
The loss of Van Ness Butler Regional is a blow still felt. But maybe they'll use that parking lot as a "non-beach access" stop.
Seems like we need a large parking lot on east end to serve Inlet Beach Regional Access but there are no other regional accesses on that end.
Perhaps trams will one day stop at state parks. Not sure how the state would like that idea.
That would make sense, but of course not. Trams taking riders to places where parking is extremely difficult or you have to pay to go there? No way, you gotta pay.
What about the Seaside lot? Is that still free parking and a bus ride? Might try that if our 'house' isn't ready. Hate to pay parking when I come to the beach since it's already so expensive. Ellen
Yes it's still running from the lot on 331 near the bay.
The trams go from West 30a to Grayton Beach, no further east. As I said earlier, having trams take people where it is hard to find parking would make sense, but the Commissioners want people to pay to park. Honestly, I would imagine it would take the trams at least 20-30 minutes just to pass through Seaside and the roads north of 30a through Seaside are not tram friendly. The county would have to have a tram running from east 30a to 395 and turn around. East 30 a needs trams far more than west 30a. Wait until they monetize the beach, that would be one helluva a fight, it's coming, you'll see.
