The Bob Sikes toll to Pensacola Beach is $1.
When you drive over the Bob Sikes Bridge to Pensacola Beach there is an electronic toll in place. The method in which the $1 toll is collected changed on March 20, 2020. Cash and coins are no longer collected in person.
The county encourages motorists to plan ahead and use electronic toll collection devices (i.e. SunPass®, E-Pass, Annual Pass, NC Quick Pass, Peach Pass, E-ZPass), tolling apps or TOLL-BY-PLATE from SunPass.
You can also get to Pensacola Beach via the bus, ECAT routes 61 & 64, take the ferry, bike or walk.
Electronic toll payment for the Bob Sikes Bridge
With SunPass®, the $1 toll will automatically deduct from your prepaid account when you pass through the Bob Sikes toll plaza.
Simply drive through without slowing down.
Don’t want to use SunPass? Don’t worry. The toll will still be $1 each time you pass through the toll plaza, plus a $2.50 administrative fee that is charged each billing cycle. No matter the number of trips you take to the beach, you will only be charged the administration fee once per billing cycle.

Please note that a SunPass Mini transponder costs a one-time fee of about $5 and SunPass requires a minimum opening balance of $10 for a personal account.
If your overall SunPass account balance decreases to $0 or below, your SunPass is no longer active and neither is your Annual Pass if you have one.
You must carry at least a $10 balance on your overall SunPass account balance in order to purchase or renew an Annual Pass.
