His ride was a blast and clean. I would recommend him to all my friends. Next time we are in ST Pete, he will be my go to ride guy 👍Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 10, 2023

- DayTrip347707354371 contributionShort ride from John’s pass but long walk when hot. Chappie saved the dayWe were at John’s Pass and needed a ride back to Sunset vistas. Chappie assisted us in a very timely manner and even took the time to open the door. Very classy person and very friendly and personable. Highly recommend this service, especially if Chappie is the driver. Very impressed!Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 18, 2024
- Meaghan R1 contributionSet the mood for a night of funMy girlfriend and I were heading to John's pass for some much needed girl time. I called free beach ride and Chappie answered the call. He said he was about 8 minutes away. I laughed a little at the exact time but he was right on the dot and sent me a picture of the vehicle we would be getting into. Very chivalrous he opened the door for us. He asked us what we were celebrating, and offered us a few places to stop into for food and drinks. Then gave us his number for a ride back as he was working all night. He really set the mood for the night. The service was amazing and prompt. I would highly recommend this to friends and family.Visited June 2024Traveled with friendsWritten July 19, 2024

6 adults, 6 kids, pretty much stranded on the boulevard after beach trolley only took us so far and booted us off, fairly far from our hotel...no Ubers available for over an hour...our sad/sorry little faces caught Free Beach Ride’s attention and her current load of passengers saved us, and offered us a lift. We piled in and rode in the open top vehicle and enjoyed a fantastic ride with great company and sweet, lovable, kind driver. Will definitely use this service again, so wonderful, especially since transportation options were at a minimum with the crowds of Spring breakers.

A special thanks to Julia from Free Beach Rides in Treasure Island, Florida! Our flight got in at 10 PM the grocery stores were closed. We were carless. Julia gave us a ride to a pizza place that was open late so we could get a late dinner and extras for nibbling until we got to the grocery store. She was professional, fun, informative… And we liked her so much that we requested her multiple times during our visit!
Thanks for your service during the late night shift Julia! We felt safe and worry free with you in charge! :)

Tiffany was more than fantastic! My recommendation is to ask for her or chance your luck by happenstance. Tiff made our stay in St. Pete perfect by sharing her local knowledge of all things from recommending the restaurant where we had our best meal to finding us the perfect spot to put our toes in the sand, drink in hand, and live music. Thank you Tiffany and hopefully this will be your go to cutie too!

we use this service every time we go to johns pass or anywhere semi out of walking distance on the beach.. it saves us from having to rent and worry about a car.. much faster and not much more expensive than the trolley..

Highly recommend using free beach ride with frisbee Shawn. He picked us up quickly always and safely got us to our destination. Made it such a fun experience singing with us enjoying the breeze in the safari van!

Do you pick up from and drop off at private residences. We are going to a restaurant from our home and returning to our home afterwards. We live on Gulf Blvd.

They picked us up at a private residence and took us to a hotel so I’m guessing yes
