BrinG home souvenirs

All good vacations need a little shopping, and The

Pavilion Shoppes on Ocean Boulevard is the best place

to start. You can find trinkets, ornaments, corny T-shirts,

wind chimes, rentals and more inside each shop. Plus,

when you start to sweat from that summer sun, you can

grab some ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s and then walk right

across the street to the beach.

Where to Park

Unless you’re crazy lucky, chances are you won’t

find an instant parking spot right on the beach

during the summer. However, the island offers

plenty of alternatives. You can find two lots right

by the Pavilion Shoppes which offer parking for

tourists and seasonal pass holders. The county park

has parking for $8 to $10 per car. You can also park

along the roads closer to the beach. Find out more
