Permit Rates
The purchase of a surf fishing permit enables individuals to drive onto the beach for a great day of fishing. You will receive a license plate and a decal. The decal also enables the vehicle to gain entrance into the other state parks charging a daily entrance fee. Permits are in effect from January 1 through December 31. Participants should acquaint themselves with the special regulations for this sport.
