Parking

This is Clearwater Beach. There will be cars. There will be traffic. There will be a treasure hunt for parking spaces, so knowing where alternative parking and transportation options are located can make a difference. The closest public parking lot to the event is the Pier 60 lot ($3/hr.) located just southwest of the roundabout, beach side. Street Parking can be found both north and south of the roundabout. There are two public parking garages located near the venue on Coronado (Hyatt Regency and Surf Style) and one public parking garage located on north beach in the Pelican Walk Plaza. Check out this map for a full list of parking spots on Clearwater Beach!

The Jolley Trolley
