💡 Tips

  • Use the local 'Jitney' shuttles for evening travel; it's the easiest and safest way to get around without driving.
  • Beach tags are required for ages 12 and up, but Wednesdays offer completely free beach access for everyone!
  • The 'Promenade' is paved asphalt rather than a wooden boardwalk, making it great for strollers and rollerblading.
  • Parking is famously tight during summer weekends; download the ParkMobile app beforehand to handle meters.
