£5 all day parking. A very steep walk to and from the beach.
The prices are rather steep, but the difficulty of payment was such that one older couple had been trying to pay for, they said, some 20 minutes. I heard a few folks muttering around the payment machine, which in the blessed past accepted cards. Now it's either by coins, or by Ringo app or phone: and there is a processing fee I guess since the price hiked. I lacked the cash; my daughter had the app, and made the payment. The cars are a little cramped, but the more sardines, the higher the profits, I guess.
