π Sporting Events Tips for Surf City
- β’Beach races and triathlons close their courses early β spectators driving in on race morning should approach from outside the course loop.
- β’Fishing tournaments concentrate at the marina for weigh-ins, usually late afternoon; that's the spectacle worth timing a visit around.
- β’For beach volleyball and surf contests, the action moves with the tide and heats run all day β check the event schedule board on the sand rather than the website's start time.
- β’Parking in Surf City: Metered parking along boulevard. Free parking on side streets (check signs).
