Most of the visitors to the Tides choose to drive, primarily because the parking at the Tides is fairly inexpensive and with many things to do and see in Florida. But for those who prefer to vacation at the Tides without driving, you are not alone (10%). The Tides is on the beach after all, which offers great pools, amenities and even has a restaurant on first floor. Nearby, there are good choices of restaurants and Super WalMart (for groceries) is a short 5 minute walk. In terms of alternate modes of transportation you have the following options:
-
Taxi / Uber
