Safe Parking Tips for Night Outings

Just because you’re rolling in a golf cart doesn’t mean the rules don’t apply. Here’s how to keep your food stops at St. Pete Beach by golf cart fun and safe, especially after dark.

Treat your cart like a car: Because it is. No driving under the influence, no blocking sidewalks, and definitely no joyriding post-bar.
Use legal street parking: Many side streets near bars and restaurants allow carts. Look for cart signs or shared vehicle lots.
Stick to well-lit areas: If you’re staying out past sunset, park where there’s lighting and foot traffic. Dolphin Village and Corey Ave have reliable options.
Avoid Gulf Blvd: It’s off-limits for carts. Use side streets and cross only at signaled intersections

Respect the ride, respect the road, and your night out will be smooth sailing from first toast to dessert.
