1, Traffic and parking can be a challenge. Be sure to arrive with plenty of time to spare (We recommend at least an hour). Parking and traffic can be exceptionally bad, the Alternative Parking options below is a great plan to alleviate looking for a parking spot for 10 to 60 minutes.   This is especially the case now with the marina under construction.

2. Parking is in the Marina Parking lot which is behind Crabby’s and all around the Salt Cracker.  We cannot guarantee you a space and during the season (January – September) it can take anywhere from 0 to 45 minutes to find a spot. During this time of the year we highly recommend the alternate parking method below and utilize the fantastic Jolley Trolly. This is not our parking lot, it is the city of Clearwater’s Parking lot.

3. You must use the CODE you received in your email confirmation. You may also receive this code via TEXT the day of your cruise. This code can be used for more than one vehicle.  Please note: without the code you will ONLY be allowed to get 30 minutes of parking. With the code, you can get up to 8 hours of parking for $1 an hour.

4. DO NOT use the Mobile Parking App.  You must use the meters that have “PAY HERE” signs above them in the parking lot. Those are the only way you can use the code we provide to you for extended parking.

5. To use the “Pay Here” kiosks you will do the following.

1) Press CODE in the bottom left corner of the first screen.
2) Enter the code and press NEXT,
3) Enter your License Plate number,
4) Enter your credit card, If it is having trouble reading it you can bend the card a little while removing it to improve the mag strip contact.
5) Select the number of hours you want to park.

ALTERNATIVE PARKING:

Park in downtown Clearwater and ride the Jolley Trolley over. Jolley Trolley’s run approximately every 15 minutes and are subject to the causeway traffic.  Please plan accordingly.
