Lower Promenade Parking

Alright, so you're thinking of parking on the Lower Prom, eh? It's dead handy for the beach, obviously, and right in the thick of things if you're hitting up Silcock's or grabbing some chips. It's rated 3.5 stars based on a fair whack of reviews, so it's not winning any awards but it does the job.

The phone number is 0345 140 0845 if you need to check anything with the council. It can get pretty rammed in the summer, especially on weekends or when the airshow's on. You'll be fighting for a space then, no question.

Downsides? Well, it's not the cheapest spot in town, and you're right on the seafront so expect to get windswept when you're getting the kids and buckets out. Plus, watch out for the tide times if you're parking right at the bottom end, yeah?

Just a heads up, it's a pay-and-display, and sometimes the machines can be a bit temperamental, so have some change handy just in case the card reader’s playing up.
