    Slightly tricky to find but the photo helped. A great parking space just a short walk from the centre of lovely Broadstairs. Definitely recommend.

  • 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.

    Parking space is about a mile away from Viking bay. However you can take bus to reach Viking bay.

  • Parking on Pierremont Avenue, CT10

    This is a great space for Broadstairs beach. Parking in the area is limited and some spaces are only 2 hours. This space was easy to find. It was about a 5 minute walk from the seafront. I would definitely use it again. Might be a bit tight if you have a large car though.

  • Parking on Pierremont Avenue, CT10

    My space was very easy to book online. Easy to find, but you will need a fairly small car, “ mine Nissan Micra” to fit into the space, a little narrow. Owner not in when we arrived, left a note in the door, and got a phone call a little while after. All in all a pretty good service.

  • Parking on Pierremont Avenue, CT10

    Perfect - simple to book - easy to find parking space - ark up on drive - a short walk down to seafront - and all of stress about finding car parks - will they be full - will they take cards - do I have enough coins - none of that - so thank you :)
