Parking is available on street on mainland. You will have to start plugging the meters as of may 1st. Park in approprate spots or you WILL get towed and keep the meters plugged or you WILL get a ticket. Be careful about trying to park at the hotel lot at Goat Island. They do not like it. And it really pissed them off a couple of years ago went someone went into the public hotel bathroom and cleaned their squid! A really stupid move.
