Welcome to Effortless Beaching! No more wrestling your clunky, sandy chairs, umbrellas and coolers to and from the beach – you’re on vacation, so let Beach Runners do the work! With the Beach Runners app, you’ll enter where your beach gear is now, where you want it to go, and we’ll handle the rest. You can schedule a pickup in advance, or find one of our staffed beach access locations for instant help. Once your beach gear has been delivered, your Runner will photograph and mark its exact location right in the app. And all payments are handled in-app as well – no cards, wallets, or cash. Currently, Beach Runners serves the Santa Rosa Beach / 30A area of Florida’s Gulf Coast. We operate within a 1-mile service radius of the Beach Access Points specified in the app.
