"America The Beautiful - National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass"
Interagency Federal Recreation Passes are available at federal recreation sites that charge entrance fees and standard amenity fees, through
government internet sites, and through select third-party vendors.
The "ATB" pass covers recreation opportunities on public lands managed by four Department of Interior Agencies - the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Reclamation, and by the Department of Agriculture's U.S. Forest Service. Passes are valid at locations which currently have entrance or standard amenity fees.
Park Passes are available at Canaveral National Seashore's entrance stations.
For the Senior Pass or Access Pass, a valid picture ID, proof of eligibility, and proof of U.S. citizenship is required. Note: A drivers license alone does not constitute proof of U.S. citizenship. The Visitor Use Assistant on duty can answer questions you may have regarding available park passes and eligibility requirements.
Golden Access and Golden Age passports will continue to be honored according to the provisions of the pass at the time it was issued. If you have one of the
paper Golden Age or Access passes, you may exchange it for a new plastic-coated pass for free. Proper ID and proof of US citizenship will be required.
