Update: Free Pensacola Beach Trolley Service

After kicking off service last weekend for the season, Escambia County will continue running the free Pensacola Beach Island Trolleys starting today, Friday, April 24, offering residents and visitors additional opportunities to explore Pensacola Beach.

Please note: Due to limited parking lot access, all trolley stops along the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk will be serviced from the road side instead of within the parking lot. The pickup and drop-off location will be along Pensacola Beach Boulevard, in front of the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk sign.

Escambia County began providing the free trolley service earlier than ever this year, operated by Escambia County Area Transit in partnership with the Santa Rosa Island Authority.

The Pensacola Beach Island Trolleys kicked off on April 18 and will continue running on the following schedule:

• Friday, April 24 through Sunday, May 17: Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 2 p.m. until midnight
• Friday, May 22 through Monday, Sept. 7: Seven days a week from 4 p.m. until midnight
  

"I'm excited to announce that the Pensacola Beach Island Trolleys will run ahead of the summer season, just in time for some great weather this spring," District 4 Commissioner Ashlee Hofberger said. "We've seen fantastic growth in the number of visitors along the beach this season, so it's important that beachgoers can safely travel around Pensacola Beach to explore everything our area has to offer. We invite everyone to hop aboard the free trolleys this weekend and enjoy your time on beautiful Pensacola Beach."

Three trolleys operate concurrently, running three routes. The eastern route runs from Casino Beach to Portofino, the western route runs from Casino Beach to Park West near the entrance gate to Gulf Islands National Seashore, and the commercial core route runs from Casino Beach to Grand Marlin with stops occurring along Pensacola Beach Boulevard. The trolley system is free for all riders.
