Everyone pays $30+ for lincoln road parking but there's free street parking on 17th street between alton and west avenue. Literally 2 blocks to the mall.

Spots are metered but free sundays and after 6pm weekdays. Ive done this probably 25 times never had issues just avoid the residential permit zones and stick to regular metered spots

Works for general south beach access too since youre close to everything. Beats $10/hour tourist garages every single time
