Yes, You can use the beaches in Florida, just like I posted, BUT you must pay the parking meter, several dollars if you intend to stay all day, the available spaces are hard to find in Winter months. The locals have a resident sticker, more available spaces designated for them.

National parks are funded by the government. A fee is a fee, tolls, entrance or parking meters. Whatever. I live in a coast town with miles of beach, anyone can go and enjoy them, however, they cant park without a resident sticker.
