Safe, clean beach with powder soft sand, excellent waves and warmer waters than one would expect being on the Atlantic coast. There's a small burger van nestled near to the pier that offers well priced food, drinks and snacks along with a number of small shops and restaurants nearby. Great day out with the family, highly recommended.

This is not a beach to plant yourself on. Its another place to avoid traffic. Foamy surf. If you come in May, prepare for the lovebugs. There are swarms of them

I love this beach. Not only can you drive on it, but it has powdery sand in the lounge areas that make it a real gem! I was impressed how clean the beach was with so many people using it.

Overzealous police/beach patrol will give you a ticket if you drive one mph over the 10mph speed. Also, paying to go on the beach irks me as I was born here

The beach and surrounding areas near the boardwalk have really cleaned up. The downfall is that most attractions have been closed or torn down. there is not as much to do as in the past. Hopefully now that there is plently of open real estate, some nice places will fill in.

What a gorgeous place, in the last few days we have visited both Cocoa Beach and Daytona Becach. Daytona was our favourite by miles! We parked at sun splash park which is free and has public restrooms and direct access onto the beach. The beach itself is super clean and we relaxed for a couple of hours paddling in the... More

We stayed right on the beach for our week there so I'm unsure if there are fees to go onto the beach. It was wonderful each morning just sitting on our patio watching the waves. First thing in the morning is the best time, when there is just the occasion jogger. The beach is kept very clean and there was... More

We set up our umbrella, brought lunch and enjoyed the view along the beach. The area that we went to did not have a food truck as other beaches that we visited had so be sure to bring beverages.

Daytona Beach allows cars but not 'animals'.. I think they mean pets because many animals/mammals including humans are on the beach. Volusia County may want to consider providing pet owners with a Permit.. special training class for pet owners and pets to review rules and possibly 'qualify' for beach access, possibly during morning and evening hours after the crowds leave.
