If you call ahead could be opened for you
Unfortunately, the beach area opens at 8am along with the rest of the Park. The entrance fee is $5 per car or $4 per individual. Please be sure to place the payment receipt on the dash of your car to notify the Rangers that you have paid the entrance fee. You may pay at the Ranger Station which is located across A1A on the Garden side of the park. There is also an honor box to use for cash (exact change required) locate at the Beachside as well as the Garden side of the park. Both sides of the Park close at Sunset. Times are indicated at the Ranger Station.
