More beach driving permits may be issued to individuals next year during Walton County's beach driving permitting period, which begins in June. County commissioners voted on July 27 to have staff develop recommendations on criteria for opening beach driving permits to additional individuals. Currently no new beach driving permits are being issued, just renewals, and the deadline for those is Aug. 1. The staff recommendations will be brought before the commissioners in public session, but no date has been set as of now.
