The elevated boardwalk is specifically engineered to protect sensitive sand dune vegetation while providing beach access.
It is one of the few locations in the area that offers a designated area for vehicle-free beach access nearby.
The park serves as a common spot for viewing local shorebird populations during the nesting season.
Frank Rendon Park is a beachfront community park located on the southern end of Daytona Beach, featuring an elevated boardwalk that provides direct access to the sand. The park offers covered picnic shelters, public restrooms, and outdoor showers for visitor convenience. It serves as a popular trailhead for those looking to access the beach away from the more congested central pier areas. The site is maintained by Volusia County and features accessible design elements including ramp access to the boardwalk. It is situated along the Atlantic coastline, providing unobstructed ocean views and a designated dune preservation area.

Bring a portable beach chair if you intend to stay on the sand, as seating is limited to the picnic shelters.
Utilize the outdoor showers immediately upon returning from the beach to prevent tracking sand into your vehicle.
Check the tide charts before visiting, as the beach width narrows significantly during high tide.
Do not attempt to drive vehicles onto the sand at this specific park entrance, as it is a designated pedestrian-only zone.
Respect protected sand dune areas by staying on the marked boardwalks; do not litter on the beach.
