Parking

While there may be parking available on the street, we recommend visitors park in one of the City of Miami Beach parking facilities at:

 

  • 7th Street Garage: Between Washington & Collins on 7th Street.
  • 12th Street Garage: Just West of Washington Avenue on 12th Street.
  • 13th Street Garage: Just East of Collins Avenue on 13th Street.
  • 17th Street Garage at Convention Center Drive.

 

 Additional Handicapped Parking available on Ocean Drive at the 5th Street entrance to Lummus Park.

 

The charge for parking at on-street meters or in a municipal garage is the same—$1.25 per hour. The advantage of the garage is that you can pay for your entire stay (via cash, credit, or debit card) when you leave, without the worry of your parking receipt expiring.

 

Please note: there are some additional garages in the Art Deco District, operated by private companies. Their rates may vary, but they are likely to be more expensive than city-owned facilities.
