Beach Parks and Accesses

The City is proud to state that 40% of Satellite Beach’s beachfront property is in public ownership, meaning that citizens can easily access the beach through parks and dune crossovers.  Substantial improvements have been made recently to Pelican Beach Park, Hightower Beach Park and several dune crossovers.  It is vital to the future of the natural beach ecosystem, that beachgoers help protect the dunes, sea turtles, and birdlife.  Many local organizations provide opportunities for residents to participate in ocean wildlife monitoring and beach cleanup.  Contact the City’s Recreation Department or visit the Volunteer Opportunities webpage to see how you can help.

The City of Satellite Beach has 17 beach crossovers, including 3 beach parks with parking, restrooms, showers and covered picnic tables. The majority of beach accesses within the city are pedestrian access or have very limited parking and no public facilities.

Parking in the public parking lots at ALL Satellite Beach beach parks requires a “virtual” parking pass or payment onsite. Residents may apply for an biennial all-lots pass, free of charge. The nonresident option is an annual parking pass and is only for Pelican Beach and Hightower Park EAST (paved lot) and is free upon registration. Nonresidents have the option to register for an all-lots pass, which permits parking at all Satellite Beach crossovers and beach parks for an annual fee of $75. All passes must be applied for at least 72 hours in advance of parking at the beach. Paid parking is in effect every day from 7:00AM to 7:00PM, 365 days a year.
