We’re making it easier to park and enjoy your day at East Beach! 🙌

Starting May 1, East Beach will begin a new pay to park system designed to keep things simple and give you more time on the sand and less time waiting in line.

When you arrive, just park and look for the green ParkMobile signs throughout the lot. Scan the QR code to get started or download the ParkMobile app to pay. Your license plate is used for entry and exit, so there’s no paper ticket to keep up with.

Pricing remains the same at $15 per vehicle for a single entry or $50 for an annual pass.

This is a soft rollout and our team will be onsite to help if you need it.

Parking fees help keep East Beach clean, safe, and open longer for everyone to enjoy. 🏖️
