How do I obtain one of these? I know that you must have a four-wheel drive. Any other requirements? How much? Thanks.

The rules might change after today's county commission meeting. There is talk of limiting permits to owners of improved property only; raising the fees; charging a higher fee for non-homesteaded property; limiting the number of charter boat permits; limiting the number of beach chair vendors, to name a few items.

Here is a link to the agenda for the meeting to be held in DeFuniak.

It is so dry and deep at Grayton that I had a hard time walking out today, much less driving. 😱 My permit is useless until it rains, and rains alot, and it may be useless after tonight's meeting.:(

What good are permits if the Sheriff's Dept is not writing tickets for non-permitted vehicles. Saw a Honda truck stuck today, without a permit in sight (B'ham license). A kind hearted local pulled him out of the hole, a Sheriff's Deputy drove right passed him without slowing down. The driver tried to get off the beach again and got stuck again. Finally, the kind local went back over to the vehicle, got in the driver's seat, backed up and drove it off the beach.

Why are they changing the criteria?
Is there a problem w/ too many vehicles on the beach (besides the non permitted ones that I totally thing deserve fines)?

I heard that the County was buying the Red Bar to make a parking lot so that all of the people who parked on the beach would now have a place to park to go to the beach.
