General Parking Tips
Carpool: the fewer cars you have to worry about, the better.
Arrive early: you want to see the greatest July 4th firework displays in America and so do all of your neighbors. Get there early. It will give you plenty of time to enjoy shopping and entertainment options nearby, which is a great way to keep you occupied before the firework show.
Bring cash and change: there are plenty of parking meters alongside the beaches on the Grand Strand. There are some pay station kiosks that allow you to park near the pier, where you’ll be closest to the fireworks. Often, you can pay for metered parking over the phone: Surfside Beach offers this feature on all paid parking locations. Click here for detailed instructions on how to do that.
