I'm not surprised by parking fees which I get considering the value of beach front property.
But why a charge to use a public beach in Florida?
Aren't beaches public land?
Is the charge used to clean-up after the public pigs?
Do condo associations and Retail businesses pay for the cleanup?
Just surprised I guess

I went to Flagler Beach and they didn't charge. You park right alongside the road that runs alongside the beach. It's probably best to get there a little early though.
I would be OK with paying for parking as long as it was reasonable--like $4-5 bucks for all day--if it helped maintain the beaches. People spend that much on a cup of coffee without batting an eye.
I like Flagler Beach, not too crowded.
