Other beaches are accessible and free only if you can get yourself there by Uber or on foot. Parking is essentially impossible (expensive & restricted on streets nearby). They are: Jennings Beach Fairfield Beach South Pine Creek Sasco Hill Southport If you just want to enjoy a water view, the Lordship Seawall (where Juan and I are staying) has some paid parking options. There's also South Pine Creek beach which you can easily visit during the wedding reception since it's just next to Scandinavian Club (like others, it is impossible to park at or near it).
