Parking Information
There is no available parking in the Ocean Institute or adjacent parking lots. Guests are strongly encouraged to arrive early, park in the Dana Point Harbor parking structure, use the FREE trolley system, or use rideshare services.
Additional public parking may also be available throughout Dana Point Harbor, including near Baby Beach and along Dana Point Harbor Drive.
Rideshare Drop-Off
Skip the hassle and rideshare straight to the harbor! Uber and Lyft are encouraged during the weekend to help reduce traffic and parking congestion.
While there are various locations to park in Dana Point Harbor, the parking near the festival is very limited due to us utilizing our surrounding parking lots for fun-filled festivities!
If you have a special event or experience ticket, please give yourself 45 minutes – 1 hour to arrive from parking locations.
Need accessible parking? We will have a limited number of handicap spaces saved in the COVE ROAD LOT. Please allow extra time before experiences or events to make sure you have a spot. Bring valid handicap verification for parking.
