Well, depending on your timeframe- this may work for you. There's a little place to eat down there called the Frog Bar. It is nestled in with a bunch of little shops directly across from the lifesaving station museum. The Frog Bar serves up some really schweeet sandwiches and stuff and has an excellent view of the inlet. It's right behind Harrison's. The Frog always used to validate your parking underneath them and in the little lot just to the bottom of the ramp leading up to the Frog. I know that back when it was called the Red Eyed Frog they gave you four hours. Provided the new owner still validates, it may be fewer hours. You may want to call them first. It's worth a try- even if they only validate for two hours it would provide you with enough time to take in the museum and get a nice bite to eat and a cold one (or more) while enjoying the view of the inlet. Hope this works for ya man! Have fun down there.
