ATTENTION ADVISORY!!!:

We are aware that the sand is really soft on the beach where the golf cart and side-by-side travel lanes are located. The beach ordinance specifically states that drivers shall drive parallel to the levee NORTH of the life ring pilings and SOUTH of the levee. That's the proper and legal lane of travel for side-by-sides and golf carts. South of the life ring pilings is where pedestrians are stationed with their personal belongings, pets, and CHILDREN. If the sand is too soft for your cart, then please plan accordingly. If you are caught traveling east and west, south of the life ring pilings, you will be susceptible to receiving a citation. Thanks.
