Street parking: a few blocks south or west of the Wharf, is particularly good option on Sundays, when the 2-hour limit on unmetered residential parking does not apply, however make sure you read all parking signs to make sure of any limits or rules. Parking meters operate seven days a week, and the fines for over parking either at meters or in the two-hour zones are expensive!
