Escambia County is thrilled to announce another new single-day record for vehicles on Pensacola Beach. On Saturday, June 4, the Bob Sikes Toll Plaza recorded 23,543 vehicles, surpassing the recent record of 22,909 vehicles on May 7, 2022. This record marks three days of vehicle counts at over 22,000 for 2022, including Memorial Day weekend with 22,808 cars on Saturday, May 28.
“It’s incredibly exciting to see another record-breaking weekend just a few days into summer vacation,” said Escambia County District 4 Commissioner Robert Bender, whose district includes Pensacola Beach. “Since the Bob Sikes Toll Plaza switched to electronic billing in 2020, we have noticed a reduction in travel times, leading to increased confidence for everyone coming to Pensacola Beach. Breaking a record so close to the previous one shows that Escambia County is poised for another successful summer season. We’re working closely with our tourism partners to provide a positive experience on Pensacola Beach for locals and visitors alike, and we are all eager to see how the remainder of the summer plays out.”
