Facilities include clean restrooms, outdoor showers for rinsing sand, and bicycle racks. The park serves as a hub for visitors accessing the Volusia County driveable beach areas. It is positioned near a designated walk-only section of the coast, offering a quieter atmosphere than the bustling Daytona Beach sections.

Attempting to drive a standard passenger vehicle onto the soft sand outside of authorized zones; park in the designated lot instead.
