Resident Permits
Is there free parking at Volusia Beaches?
Beach driving or parking in a Park Volusia lot requires visitors of Volusia county to pay a fee. Residents can apply for the brand new virtual (non-sticker) parking permits at no cost. Non-residents can purchase the same parking permit. Beachgoers will no longer have the ability to apply/purchase an annual parking permit at beach toll booths, so apply online, Volusia County Beaches app, or visit a Park Volusia office. Parking programs maintained by municipalities (New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach) have separate processes and fees associated with parking lots.
What are the benefits of the new virtual permit program (license plate based)?
To find beach parking, Volusia County has an app where beachgoers can find real-time information about parking locations. At a glance, you will see where parking may be full or where parking spots may be available.
What is the visitor fee for beach driving without an annual parking permit?
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 non-permitted vehicle. For quicker access to parking and to enjoy the beach, we strongly urge visitors to apply online and purchase the new virtual parking permit. Volusia County residents should also apply for their annual, "no-cost" resident parking permit prior to arriving at the beach.
