How beachfront camping works

A campground whose grounds come within 100 m of the sand: pitches on or directly behind the beach. Whether a tent may go on the sand itself, and in which months, is the operator's rule, and the beach page shows it where it has been checked. Sea turtle nesting closes many Florida beaches to overnight stays in summer.

How we verify beachfront camping

A campground whose mapped grounds lie within 330 ft (100 m) of the beach's extent in OpenStreetMap: pitches on or directly behind the sand. Whether tents may go on the sand itself is the operator's rule, shown on the beach page where it has been checked. Sources and methodology
