Do you have to pay to park at Florida beaches?

Except where free parking is mentioned, most beach parking lots are either metered or park-and-pay via automated pay stations. Many of the larger beachfront hotels offer day parking for a fee - usually a flat rate that's costlier than public parking (but sometimes it's worth it for the convenience).
