A tournament day means hours outside on your feet. Bring sunscreen, water, and comfortable shoes.

Know the spectator rules

Most PGA TOUR events restrict large bags and have phone-use policies. Check the bag and conduct policy before you go.

Pack smart

Small or clear bags, sunscreen, and water are your friends. Follow the event’s bag-size and phone policies.

Where to park & how to get around

Near the course, follow event signage and shuttles. Around town, here is the usual parking picture.

Public parking garage

The Pavilion Parking Garage at 914 N. Kings Hwy. is the closest covered garage to the Boardwalk and SkyWheel. Rates climb during holidays and events, so bring a card and arrive early.

Metered street & beach parking

Paid parking is enforced 9 a.m. to midnight daily, March through September. Downtown meters run $2/hour; beach-access spaces are $3/hour or $15 all day. Pay at the meter, in the ParkMobile app, or by texting your zone number to 25023.

Staying the week?

A 7-day visitor parking pass is $50 from the Lanier Parking office inside the Pavilion garage (914 N. Kings Hwy.). It covers city meters all week.

Skip the parking

Coast RTA runs year-round fixed-route buses along the beach corridor. The free seasonal shuttle ended in June 2026, so check current routes on the Coast RTA Ride Tracker app or call 843-488-0865. Rideshare drop-offs avoid the closures too.
