Buccaneer State Park charges $2 per person at the entrance (children 5 and under are free) and is open 8 AM to 5 PM daily, so plan a beach day there around the gate.

·

Buccaneer's entrance is 1150 South Beach Blvd. Some GPS apps send drivers to South Street, which is not an entry to the park.

·

The Municipal Harbor lot is the largest of the Old Town lots listed here, beside the charter docks and a short walk from the beach and Main Street.
