Beach Parking Permit Information
Access to the various beaches is based upon where your property taxes are paid. If you live in an unincorporated area (roughly designated as West of the turnpike, and/or north of Clint Moore Road) your property taxes are paid in full to Palm Beach County, thus you are considered a county resident which results in access to South Beach Park only.
