The Santa Rosa Island Authority will launch their free Pensacola Beach Island Trolley service this Memorial Day weekend, beginning Friday, May 23.

The trolleys are operated by Escambia County Area Transit and will run daily from 4 p.m. to midnight through Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 1.

This season, a new fleet of trolleys will be in operation that are both brighter and designed to give visitors more of an island experience. With convenient stops along the entire length of Pensacola Beach, the trolley offers an easy and stress-free way for visitors and locals to enjoy the area without the hassle of parking.

Three trolleys operate concurrently daily, 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 the inner access road and at Pensacola Beach Boardwalk.

The trolley system, funded by the SRIA, is free to all riders.
