Golf Carts
Florida Law
According to Florida Statute 316.2122, “A low-speed vehicle or mini truck may be operated only on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle or mini truck from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour.”
You can drive our golf carts on any Florida road that has a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour. This law also allows for a golf cart to cross a street with a higher posted speed limit where it intersects with the road currently traveled. A large percentage of Destin falls within this category, so as long as you’re mindful of the roads you use, you shouldn’t have much trouble getting around the beautiful beach town and enjoying your vacation.
Please do NOT drive golf carts anywhere on Highway 98 (the main road that runs through Destin and Miramar Beach) as this will result in you getting pulled over and ticketed and is also very dangerous. You can only drive on SCENIC Gulf Highway (OLD 98) with a golf cart. This is the 2 lane scenic road in Destin and Miramar Beach.
A “Low-speed vehicle” means any four-wheeled vehicle whose top speed is greater than 20 miles per hour but not greater than 25 miles per hour, including, but not limited to, neighborhood electric vehicles.
