Plan Your Weekend
Although The Wharf is close to major thoroughfares, please choose not to drive to The Wharf if at all possible. Join us in our effort to reduce our environmental impact and traffic congestion—and save on parking since we only have a limited amount of spots and rates can be expensive. Instead, take Metro and our free SW Shuttle to enjoy a hassle-free visit at The Wharf.
If you chose to drive, The Wharf has three underground parking garages that are open around the clock. Each garage has multiple entrances:
- Wharf Garage 1 - 20 Blair Alley SW Entrance (View on Google Maps)
- Wharf Garage 1 - 19 Sutton Square SW Entrance (View on Google Maps)
- Wharf Garage 1 - 700 Water St SW Entrance (View on Google Maps)
- Wharf Garage 2 - 21 Riley Street SW Entrance (View on Google Maps)
- Wharf Garage 2 - 21 Parker Row SW Entrance (View on Google Maps)
- Wharf Garage 3 - 602 Water St SW Entrance (View on Google Maps)
Make a day of it! Before or after exploring Clipper Race Fleet Week activities, take advantage of fine dining, casual cafés, and gourmet on the go on the waterfront.
