Parking Information

The Department of Beaches and Harbors manages 17 parking lots and one
Recreational Vehicle Park at our beach locations in Los Angeles County and
15 in Marina del Rey. Parking fees are used to clean and sanitize the beaches
and to insure that facilities are properly maintained. For parking rate information,
or to report a broken machine, please call Parking Concepts Inc. at 310-821-1081.

Overnight parking for Recreational Vehicles is available only at Dockweiler Beach
Recreational Vehicle Park.

Overnight parking is permitted only for cars and boat trailers at the Public Boat Launch Ramp.
A parking ticket must be displayed right-side up on the dashboard for each day that
the vehicle is parked in the Launch Ramp parking.

No other overnight parking is permitted.

Certain California State Parks (not managed by the Department of Beaches and
Harbors) allow overnight parking. State passes are not honored at parking lots
operated by the County.

Pay and Display Machines at Beach and Marina Parking Lots

Most beach and Marina lots have pay and display parking machines. The machines
are called "pay and display" because the public must pay for a parking permit and
then clearly display the permit correct side up on the dashboard of their vehicle.

Various parking lots have pay and display machines inside the lot, and others have
them at the entrance. Many of the lots are staffed during the busy summer season,
and during the winter, visitors will find that more lots are controlled by the
automated equipment.

Keeping the beaches clean and safe for everyone is expensive. Parking fees pay for
maintenance, as well as construction of new facilities to provide better services for
visitors from around the world. Our parking enforcement staff is responsible for making
sure that those who use the beach help to pay for its upkeep.

Make sure that your parking permit is clearly displayed right side up on the dashboard
of your vehicle. Our parking enforcement staff checks the lots several times a day,
and any car without a parking permit properly displayed on the dashboard will be cited.

Parking Fees

The pay and display equipment accepts Visa and Mastercard credit cards as well as
$1 and $5 bills, and quarters, dimes and nickels for payment, and they do not give change.
One payment is good for one vehicle per entry per day. Cars entering the parking lot
early in the morning before the attendant arrives must still pay for a parking permit
and display it properly.
