A Florida man was arrested Tuesday morning after he drove through a closed beach and into the ocean in Volusia County.

According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, shortly before 9 a.m., deputies were called to New Smyrna Beach after a vehicle drove around a closed gate and accessed the beach without paying the toll fee.

A local beach near me in Ireland has people parking exclusively on the beach, that said, it's a massive breach with plenty of space.

I never have heard of anyone's car getting overtaken by the tide, but perhaps the local farmer has pulled a few people out

Another local beach is as you described, no parking on the beach, walk on only. I think it depends on the kind of beach and the way things are set up
