A Recreational Permit is required by all Non-DoD personnel, age 16 years and older, to access Tyndall AFB property, including Crooked Island Beach, Davis Beach Boat Launch and Dupont Bridge Boat Launch, for recreation.             

DoD personnel are defined as Active Duty Military, Reserve, National Guard, DoD Civilians, Retired Military, Retired DoD Civilians, their dependents, and DoD Contractors witha current DoD identification card with base wide access.  Individuals who are members of the public and are not affiliated with the DoD are herein referred to as Non-DoD.         

As of 8Sep23, DBIDS cards will no longer be issued to Non-DoD Recreation Permit holders. This limits access to Non-DoD recreation to areas outside of the guarded gates (controlled perimeter) unless escorted by a DoD individual.   

 

                              DOGS & BICYCLES ARE PROHIBITED ON TYNDALL BEACHES.                             Thank you for ensuring the safety of our many endangered species!

 

READ THE REGULATIONS CAREFULLY 

It is your responsibility to read, understand and abide by these regulations.  Purchase of your permit is your acceptance of these regulations.

These rules and regulations are an appendix to AFMAN 32-7003 and are enforceable pursuant to 18 United States Code-Statute 1382, 10 United States Code-Statute 2671 (Florida Administrative Codes and Florida Statutes), 16 United States Code, and 50 Code Federal Regulation. Violations of these regulations are very serious. In addition to penalties that may be levied under applicable state and federal laws and regulations, the Installation Commander had inherent administrative authority to revoke outdoor recreation privileges.
