Latest Volusia County Beach Parking News

Beginning October 1, 2024, Park Volusia will oversee Volusia County’s Beach Driving and Off-Beach Parking programs, offering annual parking permits for easy beach access. Volusia County has contracted with PCI Municipal Services to manage these updates.

All permits and passes under Park Volusia will be virtual—no more windshield stickers. Instead, your vehicle’s license plate will serve as your permit or pass. You’ll enter your license plate information annually and can update it anytime throughout the year, such as if you purchase a new vehicle or temporarily use a rental.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will no longer have the ability to apply/purchase an annual parking permit at the beach toll booths, so apply online, in the Volusia County Beaches app, or visit a Park Volusia office.

“NO-COST” Parking Permits for Volusia County Residents!

Starting October 1, 2024, Volusia County residents can apply for a permit that grants access to beach driving and parking at any of the County's 65 designated off-beach lots without a fee. If you've already purchased a beach access permit within the past year, it will remain valid until it expires. However, we encourage all residents to apply today to take advantage of the complimentary permit.

Visitors Can Purchase a New Virtual Pass!

Starting October 1, 2024, visitors to Volusia County can purchase a new virtual parking pass that provides access to beach driving and County-owned off-beach parking lots. If you’ve purchased a beach driving permit within the past year, it will still be valid until it expires. 

However, starting January 1, 2025, previously purchased beach driving permits will not be valid for off-beach parking in a County-owned lot. A visitor must separately purchase an annual pass for beach driving and off-beach parking. Visitors will be able to purchase an annual off-beach parking pass on January 1, 2025. There is no charge to park in a County-owned off-beach lot for anyone until this date.

Volusia County Beaches

  • Starting in January 2025 vehicles with a virtual parking permit will be able to use multiple “automated” beach access ramps.  Each ramp will be equipped with LPR cameras that will read your license plate and automatically open the parking gate allowing you to quickly drive through onto the beach. No more stickers affixed to the windshield!

  • NEW! As of October 1, 2024, the daily beach driving fee will increase to $30 per day (plus sales tax & any credit card fees) for any un-permitted vehicle. For quicker access to parking and to enjoy the beach, we strongly urge non-residents to apply online and purchase the new virtual parking permit. Volusia County residents should apply for their “no-cost” resident parking permit prior to parking.

  • NEW! Effective January 1st, 2025, a parking fee of $20 per day (plus sales tax & any credit card fees) to park in any of the Park Volusia designated parking lots. Properly permitted vehicles will not have to pay the daily fee. County residents should apply for their annual “no-cost” parking permit prior to parking. Vehicles parked without a permit or daily fee payment will receive a parking violation on their windshield or in the mail. A $50.00 fine will be assessed for each violation.

  • No! Annual Parking permits WILL NO LONGER be able to be purchased at beach entrance ramps.  Annual permits can only be purchased online, in the Volusia County Beaches app, or by visiting a Park Volusia office during business hours. Daily passes can be purchased at the beach entrance ramps.

  • Yes! Park Volusia resident and non-resident beach parking permits must be renewed annually. Online applications make the process quick and easy, provided you have the right documentation.
