There are about 4 miles or so of beach after you go past Daytona. There are some free parking spots but come early or come during the work week. There are not a lot of restaurants and no fast food places. There is a 7/11 if you forget your snacks. I would bring a picnic lunch and just enjoy. There are a few bathrooms by the jetty/lifeguard station. Where you pay to drive on the beach. And picnics tables. I like where you park for free and there is a restaurant the North Turn for a salad or French fries for the kids (a lot of fish)...anyway, you can use their bathroom. The beach us safe, clean and quiet. Love it here. Go, enjoy and come back for the Lighthouse!!💕

Ponce Inlet Beach is GORGEOUS. The sand is white and soft and there are little crabs everywhere. There are all kinds of trails and wildlife and boardwalks with picnic areas. The beach itself has really clear, shallow water you can wade out really far in. You can find some pretty shells and the Jetty is gorgeous to walk out on. We spent a few hours here and it was so worth it. We would definitely go back.

Quiet beach away from tourism, but still within 5 miles of attractions. I always go here versus New Smyrna and Daytona!

Gorgeous peaceful place! Best sunset in times and the Crab legs at Hidden Treasure Rum Bar and Grill were amazing! Same as Denise, our server.

This is our most beautiful beach.. it a photographers paradise! We love doing our beach weddings here! Just can’t beat the beauty

Parking lot price 20 box or 100 for the entire year parking. You park you truck or car by the beach and out all your staff in the back or front your truck to have a great day in the beach, I highly recommend

Wonderful beach !!!! This is a hidden gem a beautiful treasure.

Love the secluded feel of this beach, facilities are clean, and well kept too.

Just another crowded beach. Nothing special aside from all the cars, trucks, golfcarts, ebikes, surfers, tourists, circus tents, etc.

One of my favorite beaches! More family oriented. We were rained out on our scheduled beach day. We were able to enjoy it for a short while.

Thus is my favorite spot! Pretty much "right" in front of the lighthouse. Usually a bit quieter than Daytona, or even New Smyrna. And pretty close to Down the Hatch!

Beautiful area, has showers, bathrooms and grills.

The beach had free parking, restrooms and showers. The pavilion contained several benches and covered tables. It was a lovely find.

I love this beach water is really calm gets busy during the holidays but usually it’s very empty and calm

Loved the secluded and beautiful beach at Ponce Inlet. Free parking and convenient portapotty.

Really wide/deep beach with lots of space to spread out. Free parking nearby - if you can walk a little - or pay at the park. We don’t love the squeaky sand, but it is what it is.

Great waves for boogie boarding! We saw a pod of dolphins not too far from shore. The influx of jellyfish was the only downside.

Beach itself is nice. Parking is a disaster with construction vehicles and no organization. Just pure madness of people parking wherever. The beach itself is still very damaged from last years storms. Go elsewhere.

Gorgeous beach love that it was pretty quiet and you can drive your car right up. The one scary moment was when we were all in the water and from the sand someone screams shark and literally right behind us was a giant black shape we all got out of there so fast it was literally five feet away super scary and we’re still not sure if it was a shark or seal but they do call it shark bite central for a reason no.

This is a very nice area to visit 😀 the kids loved it!!
