Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 45 minutes prior to major events at downtown venues to ensure space availability. Always ensure your license plate information is correctly entered if using a mobile payment app, and keep your receipt visible if required by on-site signage. During peak summer weekends, traffic near the causeway can become heavy; utilizing this downtown lot and walking or taking the trolley is often faster than driving directly to beach parking.
