Traffic and Parking Downtown

Don’t do it! It’s not a far walk! Seriously, between April and October the downtown area is limited to resident parking and the public lots are full. Avoid using a car. If walking isn’t your thing, Uber or Lyft is your friend. Cars are fine to reach the mansions, markets, Ocean Drive, etc. but bring walking shoes and enjoy the sites of the neighborhoods.

Farmers Market

The Farmers Market is on Wednesday and Saturday. If you cook at home, this is a must as it includes fresh seafood and meats as well.
