The beach on a holiday weekend
Volusia County, not the city, runs the beach. County residents drive and park on the beach free once they register their vehicle with the ParkVolusia program; visitors pay daily or annual fees, according to the county’s beach driving and parking page. Dogs are allowed on a leash during daylight between the Williams Avenue and Seabreeze Boulevard approaches; see our dog-friendly Daytona Beach page.
