Where you can legally drive on Clearwater Beach
Our carts are registered, insured, street-legal low-speed vehicles β they carry a VIN and a tag, not just a windshield β which means they are road-legal on any street posted 35 mph or under. On Clearwater Beach that covers effectively the whole island: Coronado, Hamden, Mandalay, Bay Esplanade, the residential grid, the Beach Walk stretch of South Gulfview and the run over the bridge to Sand Key.
Two limits are worth knowing before you set off. Carts are never permitted on the sand itself β no beach in Pinellas County allows it β so you park at a public access and walk the last thirty feet. And the causeway back to the mainland is posted well above 35 mph, so the cart stays on the island side. If your plan involves the mainland, that is a car trip.
