Annual Beach Driving Pass Sales will Pause

Posted On: September 20, 2024

Volusia County will stop selling annual beach driving passes to residents and visitors at the close of business on Thursday, Sept. 26, as it prepares to transition to the new Park Volusia program under a new vendor contract. The temporary pause will allow for the transition from the current toll vendor to the new Park Volusia program, which will launch on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

Annual passes purchased before Friday, Sept. 27, will remain valid for 365 days from the purchase date. Beginning Oct. 1, Volusia County residents, property owners, and students from select local universities who register their vehicles under the Park Volusia program will qualify for beach driving without fees. The annual pass fee for non-residents will increase from $100 to $150.

From Sept. 27 through Sept. 30, anyone without an annual pass, including residents and non-residents, can park in an off-beach parking lot or pay a $20 daily fee to drive on the beach. Parking in County-owned off-beach lots will remain free for everyone until Jan. 1, 2025. After that date, non-residents must purchase an annual pass of $100 or pay a $20 daily fee. Residents who register with the Park Volusia program will receive fee waivers for both beach driving and off-beach parking in County-owned lots.
