1. Will the beach lot parking pass also permit me to drive or park on the beach?: The New Smyrna Beach beach lot parking pass only is for the City’s four beachfront parking lots (see map on this page). This enables citizens to park and walk down on to the beach. Drivers who would like to drive or parking directly on to the beach must purchase a pass from Volusia County Government (a separate agency that manages the beaches). For info on beach driving, visit www.volusia.org/services/public-protection/beach-safety/ .

2. Do the parking kiosks accept cash?: Each of the four beachfront lots has an electronic kiosk that only accepts credit cards (Mastercard and Visa) and cash but not coins. Change is not provided for cash payments. Please make sure you have the exact amount ($20/day).

4. If a family has two vehicles, is it possible to get a parking pass one for each vehicle? In other words, two parking passes?: Absolutely – just bring in the registration for each vehicle.

5. Can I mail in the application with a proof of residency?: At this time, we do not accept applications by mail. Passes are distributed by the New Smyrna Beach Police Department, 246 Industrial Park Ave.

6. Am I eligible for a parking lot pass as a property owner and not a resident?: New Smyrna Beach has a lot of property owners and weekend or seasonal residents who contribute to the maintenance of these four beachfront parks through annual property taxes. If you will bring in your Volusia County tax bill with your address on it along with your registration, we will issue you a free parking pass.
