Parking Lots & Driving Beach Access

Beach Driving

Beginning Oct. 1, 2024, Volusia County residents can register their vehicles at www.parkvolusia.org to drive on Volusia County beaches and park in the County’s off-beach parking lots at no charge.

Park Volusia, Volusia County’s new beach driving and off-beach parking program, will be implemented in two phases. Effective Oct. 1, a beach driving day pass will cost $30, and an annual non-resident pass will be $150. On Jan. 1, parking in any of Volusia County’s 65 off-beach parking lots will cost $20 per day and $100 annually for nonresidents. Nonresidents can also purchase annual passes for beach driving and off-beach parking at www.parkvolusia.org, the Park Volusia Office, the Volusia County Beaches app, and the registration events

Easy Self-Pay Beachfront Parking Lots

Vehicle Beach Access Entrances

This half-mile trail curls through a shady hammock that borders the Canaveral National Seashore, formerly known as Eldora, a historic fishing village accessible only by boat. A dense canopy of red bay trees blocks the sun, allowing flowering shrubs such as wild coffee and sparkleberry to thrive.
