Drive on Daytona Beach for $5.00 Daily

In Daytona Beach Florida from February 1 to November 30 each year there is a toll of $5.00 daily ($3.00 after 3p.m). to drive and park on the 17 miles of the World's Most Famous Beach.
Volusia County residents can buy a yearly pass for $20 and non-residents can buy the annual pass for $40.
December and January are traditionally slow beach use times, and there is no cost to drive on the beach during those months. The county collects nearly $3 Million annually in beach driving tolls.
If you are planning to drive on the beach, please drive carefully, obey all posted signs and watch for others playing on the sand.
There are 17 entry points from Route A1A where you can drive on the beach between Ormond Beach and South Daytona. Driving is permitted on approximately 17 miles of the 50 mile Volusia County coastline.

Be extra careful when you Drive on Daytona Beach

Hi Al,

Well that's one way to earn some extra income for the beach as it is the slow season there.

The attendant looks like he could use a walk on the beach and loose some weight too. He looks huge.

Have a great day in Ormond by the Sea my friend.

Best, Clint McKie

Al, I have never driven on the beach in Daytona; stopped to gas up on my way back from FR Mid-Winter meetings this past Sunday, though, and loved hearing the Rolex 24 engines while I gassed up!

AL driving on Daytona Beach was one of my favorite things. $5 is a bargain. Here at Hampton Beach Nh it is a minimum of $10 to park and that could be a block a way. Come July up to 20 and if a holiday look out for 30 or even 40 when the temps hit 90. I loved sitting on Daytona Beach watching the cars go by, however there was a few crazies who caused some close calls, my favorite was a jacked up truck who swerved into the water to make a splash and the engine died. The driver was soon cuffed and stuffed.

Good morning Al. I always thought that this ability to drive or park on the beach was odd, but then I parked by my spot and enjoyed that.

Al, I've always found it odd that people drive on the beach where others lay sunbathing.

Al,

The annual pass fees for resident and non-redisent are really not that expensive. Our tolls here everyday are proabbly $6 per day at least if you take the tollroad. I think dricing on the beach would be fun and kind of an adventure when you have never done something like that. thanks for the blog.
