Parking

Parking in Great Yarmouth is easy with both long stay and short stay car parks run by Great Yarmouth Borough Council, as well as on-street parking run by Norfolk County Council.  

On Great Yarmouth seafront, short stay car parks are open all year. Charges vary depending on the season. Summer charges come into effect on 1 April until the end of October. Charges are £3 per hour for the first two hours and £3.80 per hour thereafter. Winter charges are £1.50 per hour in effect from 1 November to 31 March. 

Long stay car parks are open from 1 April until the end of October. There are two long stay car parks on Great Yarmouth seafront - North Drive car park on North Drive in between the basketball court and the Waterways or St. Nicholas car park opposite the Pleasure Beach Gardens. These are priced at £6.90 for up to four hours and £10.60 for over 4 hours. 

All other car parks along the seafront on the beach side are standard short stay car parks.

Additional short stay and long stay borough council car parks which are open all year round can be found nearer Great Yarmouth town centre. The town centre is only a short 10-15 minute walk from the seafront. The fee for town centre car parks is £1.60 for the first hour and goes up to £8 for parking over 4 hours. 

On-street parking is also available all along Marine Parade in Great Yarmouth. On-street parking is free from 1 November to 31 March, but is chargeable from 1 April onwards. From 1 April to 31 October parking costs are as below 

Length of Stay	Charge
North Drive up to 4 hours	£5.70
North Drive over 4 hours up to a maximum of 10 hours	£9.10
South Beach Parade up to 4 hours	£5.70
South Beach Parade over 4 hours up to a maximum of 10 hours	£9.10
Marine Parade up to 4 hours	£5.20

To pay for your parking either in a car park or on the street on Marine parade, the pay and display machines all take coins (but no notes) - the machines will take over payments but do not give change so make sure you put the right amount of money in! On each car park, there is at least one machine that takes card payments. All pay and display machines have a code on the MiPermit app (details on the machines).

Rover Tickets

Two types of Rover ticket are available, a 72 hour ticket which runs from noon on the first day until noon after 72 hours have expired priced at £17.50 and an 8-day ticket priced at £37.00. 

They permit you to park in most council run car parks on the seafront and in the town centre (not Howard Street, Middlegate or Blackfriars Road).
