**BEACH PARKING PERMITS REQUIRED**
The Galveston County Department of Parks & Senior Services has implemented the Parking Sticker Program for Bolivar Peninsula Beaches. Every motorized vehicle, including golf carts, will have to display a permit on their windshield to park on our beaches. Our office will have parking permits available for our customers to purchase. We will have the parking stickers for sale for $10.00 each. The parking sticker will be good for the remainder of the year.

Are ATV's and Golf Carts Allowed on the Beach?

Four Wheelers on the Beach?
“The Beaches of Crystal Beach and Bolivar Peninsula are considered Public Highway. To ride on the beach, a vehicle must be licensed and have a licensed driver. A sticker does not allow the 4 wheeler or other off-road vehicles to be driven on a Public Highway or Public Beach. If you will check the Transportation Code Sec. 502.006 you will find that an ATV cannot be registered to be driven on a Public Beach or roadway. The above applies for Mule type vehicles as well.”

Thanks,
Sgt. M. McGaffey

Questions about Golf Carts?
“ATV’s, dirt bikes, mules, etc, which are unlicensed are illegal on the beach.
Golf carts are legal and do not have to be licensed, however, drivers of the golf carts must possess a valid Drivers License.

Golf Cart / UTV Rules

1. A golf cart/UTV is a motor vehicle. All rules that apply to a car or truck also apply to carts/UTVs including traffic laws. All rules apply on the beach also.

2. You must have a valid driver’s license to operate a golf cart/UTV.

 

3. You may only operate a golf cart/UTV on a roadway (including ditches) that has a speed limit of not more than 35 mph. YOU CANNOT OPERATE ON A HIGHWAY. You may cross the highway at a traffic control device but only go straight across.

 

4. You can only operate a golf cart/UTV between sunrise and sunset.

 

5. You must have a slow moving triangle on the rear of the cart/UTV.

6. Neither the driver nor passenger of a golf cart/UTV may have an open container of alcohol in it, even if it is not moving.

 

7. If an unlicensed driver is operating a golf cart/UTV, the parent or person in charge of the cart may be charged with “allowing an unlicensed driver to operate a motor vehicle".

 

8. A golf cart/UTV must have a beach parking sticker to park on the beach.

 

9. If the cart/UTV is equipped with safety belts, they must be worn.


For clarification, 3 and 4 wheelers are classified at ATVs. Ranger, Mules etc are classified as UTVs.
UTVs are legal and must follow the same rules as golf carts.
ATVs CANNOT be operated on beaches of public roadways.

The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office and Precinct 6 Constable’s Office are stepping up enforcement of these laws. The number of accidents resulting in serious bodily and death have increased dramatically recently due to the popularity of these vehicles. These are not new laws, warnings have been given for years but most have been ignored.
