Driving on the beaches of the Daytona
Beach and New
Smyrna Beach areas is a Volusia County tradition dating back to
the
early days of the automobile. For years, beachgoers have enjoyed a
leisurely drive on the wide, hard-packed sands. Please be a responsible
beach driver by driving only in designated areas and observing the
speed limit. The driving areas are designated by signs and wooden
posts. Please watch for pedestrians, sunbathers and wildlife. Parking
is allowed east, or seaward, of the posts.
