Here are the updated details for the free Seaside Shuttle.
2024 Update:
Seaside runs a shuttle that is accessible to guests, locals, and employees at no cost. The complimentary shuttle will pick you up from a designated lot off of Hwy 331 South and loop to Central Square, with pickup and drop off at the Lyceum gateway. Multiple shuttles run simultaneously to minimize wait times and accommodate as many riders as possible. Shuttle hours of operation are 6 a.m. to midnight, 7 days a week.
A new trolley service is rolling up and down Scenic 30A, offering scenic tours and transportation between Gulf Place and Inlet Beach.
Update: the 30A Trolley never got rolling because of the pandemic. As of Spring 2024, only the county tram at Grayton Beach is operable, as well as the Seaside Shuttle. Keep up to date on the SoWal Forum.
