Spanish River Boulevard, also know as 40th Street is alongside the Northeast side of Spanish River Park and at both sides of this road is public parking. Outside certain hours you don't have to pay to park there. Early morning it's not too busy there. Access to the public side of Spanish River Beach is at the top of this road. My photographs are from that location. There is parking on the West side of the entrance to Red Reef Park although I don't know if its still public. It used to be and is worth investigating first.
You can park on Spanish river anytime after 6am
