Parking & charging
Where to park a rental golf cart at Carolina coast beaches, boardwalks and marinas — plus overnight charging tips.
No. Every NC and SC coastal town prohibits carts on the sand. Park in the beach access lot or designated cart parking, then walk over the dunes.
Most rentals include a 110V charger that plugs into any standard outdoor outlet. Confirm with your host that your rental house has a covered outdoor outlet — garages are ideal.
Electric carts get 30–45 miles per full charge in flat coastal conditions. Lifted carts, hills and bigger loads reduce range. A full charge takes 6–8 hours from empty.
Yes at most Carolina coast boardwalks and marinas, but never on the boardwalk itself. Look for cart-specific striped spaces or use compact-car lots.
