Local moves

·

Lido Beach lot is free and large — but fills completely by mid-morning in summer. Arrive before 9 AM.

·

South Lido Park fills later than the main lot and has a completely different (and beautiful) beach experience.

·

St. Armands Circle street parking is abundant on weekday mornings; weekend evenings pack tight.

·

The main lot is a 3-minute walk from St. Armands Circle — park once, do both.
