Starting May 1, motorists will pay less to drive to Pensacola Beach.

Late Thursday, the Escambia Board of County Commissioners approved a reduction in the Pensacola Beach General Public Annual Pass, reducing the annual fee from $50 to $20.

The reductions mark the first time in recent memory that the toll has been rolled back.

“The board’s action does not impact the ability to choose to pay the cash toll of $1 for single trips or the other Pensacola Beach Annual Pass rates,” Escambia County officials said in a statement.. The homestead pass will remain at $5 and the commercial pass, $70. No refunds will be given for any general public annual passes purchased prior to the new fee rate.
