You have your beach parking pass...now what?

  • Place it on driver side rear bumper only and it must be affixed by adhesive on sticker.
  • Your vehicle with a beach parking pass is valid for parking at any Town beach access park, even in metered spaces.
    • Vehicles must be parked in a designated parking space.
    • Any vehicle not parked in a designated space (i.e. on the pine straw, in a No Parking zone, etc.) is subject to towing at the owner's expense.
  • The beach parking pass is only authorized for the vehicle for which it is issued.
    • Transfer of the decal to another vehicle invalidates the pass and subjects the decal to removal by a Town of Hilton Head Island representative.
  • When purchasing a new vehicle or replacing a rear bumper, remove the current pass from the bumper and return it to Facilities Management at 12A Gateway Circle for a replacement pass at no charge.
    • Failure to follow these procedures will result in the need to purchase a new pass for $30.
