PARKING
There is a paved lot off Lakeshore Blvd, located between the Water Treatment Building and the U.S. Coast Guard Station (A). The Museum entrance is on the lake side. Another option is to turn east on Arch Street (closest street to the north of the Museum) and park in the lot between the lake and the 1891 US Life-Saving Service building (B) or in the lot in front of the Museum building (C). The last option (and the best option for RV parking) is to park at Mattson Lower Harbor Park (D) or McCarty's Cove (E) and take the short walk along the multi-use path. The path brings you right to the Maritime Museum.
