DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Cars and motorcycles are back on the road in Volusia County. It's a stark contrast from last week, when Hurricane Matthew hit the Atlantic Coast of Florida.
Beachgoers are able to enjoy a day at the water and in the sun at Dunlawton Approach.
“They’re excited. They’re very friendly and they’re just glad it’s open,” toll collector Robert Wenzell said.
While some parts of the beach are currently open, and flying red flags, crews continue cleaning up debris and making repairs.
“I think the cleanup efforts have been pretty good considering the damage everybody has sustained,” Biketoberfest participant Christine Fox told News 6.
Fox and her family participate took a break at the beach and said this event is a good way for them to move forward.
“We thought it wasn’t going to be in existence and I heard some of the officials say we’re going to cancel it, but we knew that we needed to do this to start the healing in Volusia County,” Rev. Al Paquette told News 6.
The event in 2015 brought over 100,000 visitors to the area.
Here are the beach access ramps that are currently open:
● One-way from Seabreeze Boulevard to University Boulevard in Daytona Beach
● One-way from International Speedway Boulevard to Silver Beach Avenue in Daytona Beach
● Dunlawton Avenue to Emilia Avenue in Daytona Beach Shores
● Flagler Avenue to Third Avenue in New Smyrna Beach
