ATV’s are permitted as a form of transportation within the city as long as the laws of transportation are respected and only you use the vehicle.

There are several places where you can rent an ATV, with prices varying from $30-$50 an hour, depending on the type of vehicle that you want to use. Remember to have your drivers license, which they will request in order to do the rental.
Also take into account that the use of ATV’s is not permitted on the beaches and here are some tips so your ride is always safe and responsible:
