When Volusia County launches the Park Volusia program on Tuesday, Oct. 1, residents will be eligible to register for a no-cost beach driving pass through one of the following avenues:

  • Online at www.parkvolusia.org
  • At the Park Volusia Office, 2422 S. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach Shores, from 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday
  • During a community registration event at a Volusia County Library

All existing Volusia County beach pass holders can continue to use their current passes for entry until they expire. Beginning on Oct. 1, only daily access passes can be purchased at the booths on the beach ramps; annual passes must be purchased online or in person at designated locations.

To successfully register online or in-person for a no-cost resident beach driving pass, the following documentation will be required:

  • A current Driver's License or State ID with a Volusia County address and a vehicle registration matching the name and address on the ID.
  • Property owners who do not reside in Volusia County must provide a current Driver's License or State ID, vehicle registration, and real property tax bill for a property address in Volusia County. The names on all documents must match.
  • Disabled persons or disabled veterans must provide a current Driver's License and vehicle registration with a handicap permanent plate type or a valid handicap temporary placard.

College students enrolled at Bethune-Cookman University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, or Stetson University with a current college parking pass affixed to their car can also register for a no-cost resident permit. The affixed parking pass must be verified in person at the Park Volusia office for the permit to be approved.

The no-cost parking permit for residents does not cover access fees for Lighthouse Point Park and Smyrna Dunes Park, which are not funded by the County's General Fund. Residents and visitors must still purchase a separate daily or annual inlet park pass. During registration, people can add an inlet park annual pass to their online account.

For more information about eligibility, documentation, and to find an in-person registration event, visit www.parkvolusia.org.
