Pensacola Beach residents and frequent visitors can now register online for the Pensacola Beach Annual Pass program integrated with SunPass®, providing unlimited passage through the Bob Sikes Bridge toll plaza for one annual fee. The Pensacola Beach Annual Pass page is now accessible at www.myescambia.com/pensacolabeachpass, with step-by-step instructions on how to get your SunPass® transponder and annual pass. While homesteaded beach residents can activate their SunPass® transponder online, they must visit the Santa Rosa Island Authority office on Pensacola Beach, located at 1 Via De Luna Drive, to purchase the discounted annual pass. Non-homestead Pensacola Beach Annual Passes can also be purchased at the SRIA offices.
How much is a Pensacola Beach Annual Pass?
- Pensacola Beach Annual Passes are $50 per year for public annual passes and $70 per year for commercial annual passes (all vehicles displaying any commercial markings or advertising, including magnetic or rooftop signs, or vehicles owned by a commercial business). Purchase online or in person at the Santa Rosa Island Authority office on Pensacola Beach, located at 1 Via De Luna Drive.
- Homestead residents are allowed up to two $5 Pensacola Beach Annual Passes. To be a homestead resident, you must obtain the designation of your primary residence on Pensacola Beach from the Escambia County Property Appraiser's Office. Beach residents must bring a proof of homestead exemption from the property tax office when going to purchase an annual pass. The homestead annual beach pass cannot be purchased online, but only in person at the Santa Rosa Island Authority office on Pensacola Beach, located at 1 Via De Luna Drive.
