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
There is absolutely free access to Florida beaches and free parking definitely if you get there early and ,if not early, you spend a bit of time looking and willing to walk a block or two.
