Beachgoers are reminded that COVID-19 is still a concern in the county. Residents and visitors heading to the beach must continue to park at a post, maintain physical distancing and avoid congregating in large groups. With on-beach parking limited to ensure distancing can be maintained, vehicular access ramps may temporarily close due to capacity. Those planning to park on the beach should arrive early.
All in-season vehicular beach access ramps will be open to vehicles for beach parking from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mid-morning high tides may force the closure of some ramps. If using beach parking, vehicles must park at a blue post or conservation post, which are placed at 25 foot intervals. To avoid crowds and easily maintain physical distancing, beachgoers are encouraged to access the beach in a less-populated area. Free, off-beach parking lots are located on the coast throughout the county. For information on off-beach parking and vehicle access ramps, visit Volusia.org/beachmap or download the Volusia Beaches app.
Beach Safety
There is a risk of rip currents this weekend, and beachgoers should always swim in front of a staffed lifeguard tower. Afternoon thunderstorms are also forecasted, which bring the risk of lightning. Beachgoers are reminded to exit the water and seek shelter in the case of thunder.
Beach clean-up
Beachgoers should always leave the beach as clean, or cleaner, than they found it. Trash and recycle cans are placed at regular intervals along the beach. Environmentally friendly trash bags are available upon request at toll booths and from the beach litter team. Porter services will canvas both the beach and coastal parks to assist with the collection of trash, empty trash and recycle cans, and clean restroom facilities.
After a day at the beach, flatten sandcastles, fill in holes, and take chairs and equipment home; do not leave any tents, chairs or other materials on the beach overnight. This is an easy way to reduce obstacles faced by nesting sea turtles and hatchlings.
For more information, follow Volusia County Beaches on Facebook and Twitter, download the free Volusia Beaches app from the Goggle Play or Apple App Store, or visit www.volusia.org/beach.

On Sunday, August 9, Volusia County Animal Services, in partnership with the ASPCA, will be providing free cat and dog food and microchips for county and city residents’ pets. The free community event is county government’s way of offering a helping hand to pet owners who are struggling financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event will take place at the Volusia County Fairgrounds at 3150 E. New York Ave. from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m., or until supplies last. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals donated approximately $10,500 worth of pet food for the event.
For convenience and social distancing, Sunday’s event will feature drive-thru service. While residents won’t have to get out of their vehicle, they are asked to wear a face covering. There will be two drive-up lines – one just for pet food and the other for both food and a microchip. The food will be loaded into the vehicles for residents. If they’re also there to get a pet microchipped, county staff will remove the pet from the vehicle and take it into the on-site facility for the quick and painless procedure. Just a few minutes later the pet will be brought back out to the owner’s vehicle. To expedite the process, those who are planning to get a pet microchipped are asked to print out the consent form and fill it out before they arrive on Sunday.
Volusia County will host a COVID-19 briefing at 2 p.m. today, Aug. 7. Topics will include the county’s ongoing COVID-19 assistance programs, information on Animal Service’s free food and microchip event and an update from the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County. The briefing can be streamed live on the Volusia County Emergency Management Facebook page.

On Sunday, August 2, Volusia County Animal Services, in partnership with the ASPCA, will be providing free cat and dog food and microchips for county and city residents’ pets. The free community event is county government’s way of offering a helping hand to pet owners who are struggling financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event will take place at the Volusia County Fairgrounds at 3150 E. New York Ave. from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m., or until supplies last. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals donated approximately $10,500 worth of pet food for the event.
For convenience and social distancing, Sunday’s event will feature drive-thru service. While residents won’t have to get out of their vehicle, they are asked to wear a face covering. There will be two drive-up lines – one just for pet food and the other for both food and a microchip. The food will be loaded into the vehicles for residents. If they’re also there to get a pet microchipped, county staff will remove the pet from the vehicle and take it into the on-site facility for the quick and painless procedure. Just a few minutes later the pet will be brought back out to the owner’s vehicle. To expedite the process, those who are planning to get a pet microchipped are asked to print out the consent form and fill it out before they arrive on Sunday.
On July 20, State Surgeon General Scott Rivkees issued an updated public health advisory. The most significant change is the recommendation to refrain from participating in gatherings larger than 10 individuals.

The county purchased the protective equipment in bulk quantities and the local chambers of commerce will assemble approximately 7,000 supply kits. The distribution plan is being coordinated through the Volusia County Chamber Alliance. The money for the aid is coming from the federal coronavirus relief funds that the county has received through the CARES Act.
PPE kits will be distributed through the Volusia County Chamber Alliance from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on dates and locations as follows:
Businesses may receive up to two kits and must prove eligibility with a business card indicating they represent a Volusia County business, as well as sign that they received the product. Businesses may visit any site.
The citites of Daytona Beach, DeLand and News Smyrna Beach have adopted resolutions to mandate the wearing of face coverings in public. To learn more, visit the cities page and select the appropriate city from the list.
Volusia County has several other COVID-19 assistance programs available for residents. Programs include the Small Business Grant, Home-based Business Assistance Grant, PPE Distribution Program for Local Businesses, Non-profit Grant, Rental Assistance, Mortgage Assistance and summer camp scholarships.
Volusia County actively encourages its residents to follow the guidelines of the Step Up Volusia Campaign, which reminds residents to wash your hands often (use hand sanitizer when you can’t), to maintain physical distance with others of at least 6 feet and to wear a mask when out in public, especially when you can’t maintain 6 feet of physical distance from others.

Large crowds are expected at the beach for the upcoming July 4 holiday weekend. With COVID-19 concerns, all beachgoers are reminded to maintain physical distancing, avoid congregating in large groups and wear a face covering when distancing is not possible. All in-season vehicular beach access ramps will be open to vehicles for beach parking from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. However, with morning high tides, the opening of some ramps may be delayed. Soft sand is an issue on many portions of the beach, especially in the Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach areas. If using beach parking, vehicles must park at a blue post or conservation post, which are placed at 25 foot intervals. To avoid crowds and easily maintain physical distancing, beachgoers are encouraged to access the beach in a less-populated area.
Beach Safety
There is a risk of rip currents this weekend, and beachgoers should swim in front of a staffed lifeguard tower. Afternoon thunderstorms are also forecasted, which bring the risk of lightning. Beachgoers are reminded to exit the water and seek shelter in the case of thunder.
Fireworks
Use and/or possession of fireworks is prohibited on Volusia County beaches. Law enforcement officers will confiscate fireworks and may issue a fine. Senate Bill 140 regarding the use of fireworks on designated holidays does not apply to Volusia County beaches. Fireworks cannot be used on the beach, at beachfront parks or access points (including ramps and walkovers) or at beachfront buildings, such as businesses, hotels, condominiums or homes. They create an enormous amount of trash that is extremely difficult to remove and is often ingested by sea life. The loud noises and bright lights may also deter sea turtles from using the beaches to nest at night. Fireworks also pose a great safety hazard for beachgoers.
Beach clean-up
After your day at the beach, flatten sandcastles, fill in holes, and take your chairs and equipment with you; do not leave any tents, chairs or other materials on the beach overnight. This is an easy way to reduce obstacles faced by nesting sea turtles, which have begun visiting the beach at night to lay eggs.
Trash and recycle cans are placed at regular intervals along the beach. Environmentally friendly trash bags are available upon request at toll booths and from the beach litter team. Porter services will canvas both the beach and coastal parks to assist with the collection of trash, empty trash and recycle cans, and clean restroom facilities.
