Daytona Beach Public Access: Things to Remember

If you plan to unwind on one of the many beaches in Daytona, we have prepared this Daytona Beach Public Access guide to help you explore the area stress-free! Before entering any beach vicinity, you should always be aware of private properties developed in the area. Daytona’s beaches are dotted with private residences and condos, yet ALL of the beachfront is open to the public. Volusia County’s 28 miles of beach are all yours to explore worry-free. That being said, here is a detailed guide for your fun beach experience along Daytona Beach!

  1. You can drive on the beach if you have permission or paid access. Follow the signs and stay in the lanes.
  2. Take care of the many pedestrians that frequent Daytona Beach, whether you’re behind the wheel or on two wheels.
  3. There are sand dunes covered in flora throughout much of the beaches of Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet, so tread carefully. To avoid damaging the dunes’ ecosystem, only use approved pathways and boardwalks to traverse the area.
  4. Leaving the beach in better condition than when you arrived is expected.
  5. Burning materials on beaches is prohibited.
