welcome to daytona dog beach, inc.!

Since opening on November 1, 2023, our volunteers have removed 11,648 pounds of trash from our dog-friendly beach in Volusia County, FL—nearly all of it left behind by humans.  

When combined with the 1,270 pounds gathered during the People & Paws monthly beach cleanups we hosted before our dog beach opened, the 230 pounds amassed at the 2024 Jimmy Buffett Day Beach Clean-up, and the 26 pounds collected during our clean-up with the awesome kids from Academic Oasis, we have removed a total of 13,174 pounds of litter from our beaches since July 2021!  

This daily effort isn’t just about keeping the sand clean; it’s about protecting wildlife, preserving our coastal ecosystem, and ensuring a safe, welcoming space for dogs and their people on our dog-friendly beaches.  

You can be part of this movement! Whether you join us as a Paw Ambassador or simply pack out what you pack in, your actions matter. Together, we’re proving that a dog-friendly beach in Daytona Beach, FL, can also be a model for environmental responsibility.
