It is the responsibility of the party host to communicate with their party members to purchase individual day-use fee passes for their vehicles at the self-service fee station located near the gatehouse. These passes are $5 per vehicle; please bring exact change cash or check. Walk-ins are not permitted. The reservation shelter fees do not exempt vehicles/groups from paying these vehicle fees; vehicle fees cannot be combined into the total reservation cost. Buses are not permitted to enter the beach area due to parking restrictions.
