Traffic is light. There is a fee to ride in the park. Walking paths meander through wild areas and are also good for bicycling. The paved trail, which is closed to vehicles, opened in October 1998. State Road 399 traverses the sand dunes along the narrow beach between Santa Rosa Sound and the Gulf of Mexico.
Traffic can be heavy on summer weekends, but it's a fairly safe ride on weekdays.
Sand often blows onto the road. The Pensacola News Journal, Pensacola, Florida.
