How parking works

Parking is counted as lots and street parking areas mapped within 400 m of the beach, about a five-minute walk. Fees, hours, and the lots' names are shown where mapped. Free lots are a separate feature, so a search can ask for both.

How we verify parking

A mapped parking lot or street parking area within 1,310 ft (400 m) of the beach, from OpenStreetMap. The count and the names of the lots are shown when mapped. Sources and methodology
