30A Trolley is Rolling - Hop On, Hop Off

There has been a lot of discussion and interest for trolleys serving South Walton and 30A. The county has a tram with limited runs and is looking to expand. Their have been private groups proposing trolleys to serve various areas along 30A. Many of our beach communities have their own trolleys and busses to shuttle people around 30A and to the beach.

Update: the 30A Trolley never got rolling, interrupted by the pandemic. The story below describes the ambitious effort that was sadly never to be.

The 30A Trolley Service has four open-air trolleys, each named after a local fish. The Beach Trolley operates from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. from March 1 to Oct. 31. The 30A Trolley is a “hop-on/hop-off” service, arriving and departing every 20 minutes, with planned trolley stops in Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, Seagrove Beach, WaterSound, The Hub, Alys Beach, Seacrest Beach, Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach. Stops along the route include nine regional public beach accesses.
