Seasonal Parking Permits and Peak Summer Lodging Deadlines
Access to local beaches like Goose Rocks requires a specific parking permit during the summer months, available through the town office; this is separate from hotel parking. The famous Christmas Prelude and summer weekends often book out a year in advance, so verify individual restaurant and inn policies directly with the providers.
