Annual passes cost $50 for St. Johns County residents and $100 for non-residents.

County officials said annual permits purchased before the coronavirus shutdown will be good through the 2021 beach season.

All beachgoers are reminded to stay six feet apart and not gather in groups larger than 10 people.
