In the middle of the beach at Club O there are four rows, but rather close together. We did see some people sitting in chairs that where above the rope line and on Club O property. We usually park at Club O, pay the $5 and walk down the path to the beach. We were allowed to walk behind the rope, on Club O property, this year to get toward the middle of the beach. They didn't allow that in past years. We also didn't have to pay $5 for parking this year. We arrived April 20 and didn't have to pay at all to park. The lot was packed as usual.
