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.

No disrespect, but just because you buy a resident sticker up where you live, doesn't mean that's the way its done in the majority of places in Florida. We got to the beach at least once a month down here, often during the winter high season, and we've never had to pay parking. Just saying.
