The spot
The things that stay true when the weather changes.
Cars drive and park on the sand in the marked zones. Poles near the dunes mark conservation zones where driving and parking are not allowed. Off-beach county lots exist, and the city lots at Flagler Avenue and 27th Street are run and priced separately.
