Beach Passes

Permits  & Passes

Motor Vehicles are permitted to access several stretches of St. Johns County Beaches for a moderate toll. Traffic is regulated and the ten-mile per hour speed limit is strictly enforced. Pedestrians are urged to stay alert and use caution. Soft sand and high tides may prevent vehicle access and drive-ability on the beaches.

From March 1 through September 30, vehicles are required to pay a vehicle beach access toll. These 9 tolls are located at Vilano Beach, Porpoise Point, A Street, Ocean Trace, Dondanville Rd, Matanzas Ave, Mary St., and Crescent Beach.

Special use permits are required for special events, horseback riding, 4-wheel drive vehicles, and commercial fishing. Find out more in the Habitat Conservation Plan section.
