Please:
- Always swim directly in front of a Lifeguard.
- The 10 mph speed limit is strictly enforced. Violators will be fined $41 and up.
- Alcohol, pets and glass containers are not allowed.
- Music or noise which can be heard from more than 50 feet of the source is illegal.
- It is illegal to disturb dune vegetation.
- Driving or parking in the conservation zone is prohibited.
Please help us protect the beach environment
- Don't disturb a turtle that is crawling to or from the ocean or laying eggs. Watch from a distance.
- Avoid shining lights on the beach at night as this may frighten away nesting females and interfere with the baby turtles' ability to find the sea.
- Avoid walking or cycling in places posted as nesting areas.
- Immediately report any injured or dead sea turtle to the nearest Volusia County Beach Services employee.
- Do not disturb markers or protective screening over turtle nests. These nests are being studied and protected.
- Avoid walking on the dunes along the beach.
- Don't disturb nesting sea birds
- Don't litter. Cigarette butts, fishing line and other trash can harm the animals and birds along the beach.
- Do your part to spread the word about environment-friendly habits on the beach.
