St. Johns County residents can buy 2027 beach driving passes starting Tuesday, Dec. 1, at six locations, including the Tax Collector's Julington Creek office.

That office sits at 725 Flora Branch Blvd. in St. Johns. Resident passes cost $65, non-resident passes are $125, and ADA-accessible passes are $40, according to St. Johns County's announcement.
