Drivers are strongly advised to arrive before 10:00 AM on summer weekends to secure a spot without delay. Remember to note your stall number or license plate before walking to the boardwalk so you can swiftly activate your session through the mobile payment portal. If you plan to stay past sunset for dinner or drinks, you can conveniently extend your parking time via your smartphone without needing to return to your vehicle.
