In Cocoa Beach, golf carts can use the streets the city’s Golf Cart Accessible Street Map shows in green. The city says the map shows where golf carts can go under Ordinance 1660 and Resolution 2021-25.
What we haven’t checked. We haven’t read the text of Ordinance 1660 or Resolution 2021-25, only the city’s map; last checked October 19, 2026.
State law: see golf cart laws in Florida.
See the City of Cocoa Beach’s Golf Cart Accessible Street Map, in a city notice. Green streets are accessible to golf carts; red streets aren’t.
Do you need a driver’s license to drive a golf cart in Cocoa Beach?
The map doesn’t give a license rule, and we haven’t read Ordinance 1660. Florida’s statewide rule (§ 316.212): drivers under 18 need a learner’s permit or a driver’s license, and drivers 18 and over need a government-issued photo ID.
How old do you have to be to drive a golf cart in Cocoa Beach?
The map doesn’t give an age. Florida’s statewide rule (§ 316.212): drivers under 18 need a learner’s permit or a driver’s license, and drivers 18 and over need a government-issued photo ID.
Does a golf cart need a permit or registration in Cocoa Beach?
The map doesn’t mention a city permit. It lists the equipment a cart needs: brakes, steering and tires in working order, a rearview mirror, and red reflectors front and rear.
Where can golf carts go in Cocoa Beach?
Streets marked green on the city’s Golf Cart Accessible Street Map are accessible to golf carts. Streets marked red are inaccessible to golf carts unless authorized under Florida Statutes § 316.2126, the map says.
Golf cart or LSV: what’s the difference in Cocoa Beach?
The map notes that Ordinance 1660 and Resolution 2021-25 don’t apply to registered, street-legal vehicles such as LSVs.
A low-speed vehicle (LSV) is different from a golf cart: it goes faster than 20 mph (up to 25), meets the federal LSV safety standard, and has to be titled, registered and insured, with a licensed driver. Under Florida law an LSV can use streets posted 35 mph or less, unless the local government has closed a road to them. An LSV can’t travel along roads posted over 35; lawful crossings are separately regulated.
Can you drive a golf cart at night in Cocoa Beach? Hours and lights
The map doesn’t set hours. Under Florida law (§ 316.212), golf carts run from sunrise to sunset unless the local government has approved night use and the cart has headlights, brake lights, turn signals and a windshield.
Follow the law and posted signs. Follow applicable law, posted restrictions and lawful directions from officers. If permission is unclear, don’t use that road or path until confirmed. Rules can change after we check them.
