Past the parking area where the car was found, is there a gate on Fort Pickens Road that is closed by the Park Rangers at night? If so, at what time? Is there an entrance fee?
I posted upthread about the times of operation. Basically, that means the entrance on the road is closed with a gate (I believe), but AFAIK, you can still walk up the beach to get in. There is an entrance fee, but I couldn't find it on-line. I think it's a few dollars for bikers/pedestrians and ~6 for a car. Or, you can get an annual pass for $35-40.
I posted upthread about hours of operation and then read on another page at the National Park Service.
Fort Pickens is open from 7:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. daily. http://www.nps.gov/guis/florida.htm
It makes sense for them to be open later since they have a campground.
