Linda--I suspect, IF there is a change in policy, it may be because of the new building. Frankly, some people coming in for the day and spending even a couple hundred dollars should not compete with there being enough parking AND beach chairs for guests who are staying there. They make their money off the overnight guests. If they are still bringing cruise ship excursions there, I would guess that the cruise lines are chipping in more than a few bucks for that..
