Dune walkovers required for beachfront properties to prevent vegetation damage. Beach driving permits required in designated zones ($25 annual for residents, $20 daily for non-residents in 2024). Seawalls and armoring face strict FDEP review. Ponce Inlet and Daytona Beach Shores have additional local turtle lighting rules.
Construction seaward of CCCL without permit: FDEP fines up to $10,000/day plus removal order under F.S. §161.054. Sea turtle lighting violations: county fines $50-$500 per night, federal Endangered Species Act liability up to $50,000. Dune damage: restoration required plus penalties.
