Parking on The Vale, CT10
Excellent communication, safe and easy to find parking space fallowing the instructions given. We will use it again in the future and highly recommend!

Parking on The Vale, CT10
Great car parking space a short walk from the beach! Only thing I’d say is watch when backing out of the space, perhaps try and go at an angle as some cars may scrape the bottom. Ours did.

Parking on The Vale, CT10
Easy to find and reasonably priced. I paid £2.50 for 5 hours. Okay if you don't mind a bit of a walk (12 -15mins for fast walkers 17 - 20mins for small and slow people like me). It was a but cumbersome for me as I had a big picnic basket as well as my bag. If you come with a companion best to drop them off at the beach or high street then go and park. Other than that I recommend using this.
