Quick Tips and Notes:
- Parking and traffic can get busy at peak times during the weekend. We would suggest walking and/or using rideshare apps when you are able to avoid headaches with driving and parking.
- If you plan to drive around town, download the Passport Parking app - it is accepted as most meters and lots around town.
- Reservations are a good idea if you are interested in any tours or lunchtime spots, as the town can get quite busy on a beautiful fall day!
- Many attractions, like The Breakers, offer online tickets, so you can save some time and skip the line when you arrive by booking online.
