Parking is horrendous in the high season. Well, not only that, the streets are tiny and parked solidly on both sides. So every stop sign is a nightmare. You must creep your way out into the tiny intersection to see, and hope the cyclists and drivers are not texting!

One winter I stupidly brought my husband's Dodge Magnum, which is about 50 feet long. Trying to get around anywhere in the downtown area in that boat was a colossal PIA. One year I brought our son's Xterra--only slightly better. One year we brought a little Audi 4A. Like Goldilocks and the three Bears, that was just right. However, the dog didn't like it so much...

But getting around by bike, even from the Atlantic side, is pretty easy.
