I love this beach. Not only can you drive on it, but it has powdery sand in the lounge areas that make it a real gem! I was impressed how clean the beach was with so many people using it.

Overzealous police/beach patrol will give you a ticket if you drive one mph over the 10mph speed. Also, paying to go on the beach irks me as I was born here

Daytona Beach allows cars but not 'animals'.. I think they mean pets because many animals/mammals including humans are on the beach. Volusia County may want to consider providing pet owners with a Permit.. special training class for pet owners and pets to review rules and possibly 'qualify' for beach access, possibly during morning and evening hours after the crowds leave.
beach is great... been down there when it is cool and it is not as good then. been there while breezy and cold and it makes for a tough weekend.
The beach is clean, flat, and the sand is great for sand castles and such. Unless you're early, which my experience showed me anytime before 11am, parking was a bit of an issue.
