Um, they have cameras you know. The homeowners I mean. I hear the guy say as I walked past, “Oh I musta have missed that.” Clearly he almost hit it pulling in.2. Read The Signs

How Do I Get A Guaranteed Beach Parking Space Every Time?
Annual Boat And Beach Parking Pass. Here’s a pic of the one on my windshield. I use it for all boat ramps in county parks as well as our three stand-alone boat ramps: the Sutherland Bayou Boat Ramp, the Belleair Boat Ramp, and the Park Blvd. Boat Ramp. Also vehicle beach parking (without a trailer) at Fort De Soto Park, Sand Key Park, and Howard Park Beach. It’s $110 bucks, but I go out on the early side of the days and have never, ever had a problem getting a spot and NOT getting a ticket. The have discounts for seniors, and military and disabled annual parking passes at no charge.
