Car Parking Openings and Charges 2026

The Beach Car Park is open 21th March till  November 2026.

 

Each Year from car park opening till the end of April there is an early Bird special on Season tickets, (prices below).

You can also exchange your old residents pass for a new one at the hut – grab yours from the attendant. Between 10.00 – 12.00 is the best time to do this, we cannot guarantee passes will be available at other times.

Please note that season tickets are valid for the car not the driver,  they are not transferrable.  tickets will display the registration number of the car and checks may be carried out when arriving at the pay hut.  Please display your season ticket when parked in the car park.  Replacement season tickets will attract an admin charge.

If you have lost your ticket email alnmouthburgageholders@outlook.com

If you are applying for your first residents pass please do so, taking along your council tax bill as proof of residency in the Alnmouth Parish,  at Alnmouth Post Office after 1st April.  

Our car park attendants are valued employees who do a great job, please treat them with respect.
