Parking Information: The beach gathering area on Thursday and the wedding venue are both at 801 Beach Dr. Parking can be found in the lot off Keziah and Beach Dr. and on the side streets of Barbee and Womble. There is not parking available in front of the venue or in the lot in front of Koko Cabana, a beachfront restaurant. Parking is paid and monitored from 9am-5pm and can be paid using the info on the parking signs via your phone. However, when there is an event at 801 Event Center parking is not monitored in this area 1 hour prior to the event. Therefore starting at 4:30 you should be safe to park for free on Friday for the wedding. You must park where there is a yellow bumper (see diagram below). Do not park in spots that are designated for residents only as they are monitored until 9pm. and you can not pay to use these spots. Please consider carpooling as parking is limited. There are limited transportation options so plan to have fun safely. Here are a few if you would like to try to arrange for a ride to and from the wedding.
