We have a variety of car parks available in Brightlingsea, providing around 500-600 parking spaces in total. While the car parks near the seafront tend to fill up quickly, there are alternatives to ensure you find a spot conveniently. Here’s a breakdown of the different car parks and their locations:
📍 Promenade Way Car Park: Located at the end of the Western Promenade near the toilets and Bateman’s Tower. It’s worth noting that disabled spaces are limited and tend to go quickly. If you prefer on-road parking, please avoid double yellow lines. Use this link for easy navigation: https://goo.gl/maps/qB1zZug5dn14iRGi9
📍 Western Promenade Grass Car Park: Situated on the same road as Promenade Way Car Park, this is a spacious car park. Find your way using this link: https://goo.gl/maps/nEXXJC6bhWzzrYZn8

📍 Tower Street Car Park: Please note that this car park tends to fill up quickly: https://goo.gl/maps/SmVUKXxaqBbMTpoJ6 If it reaches capacity, consider exploring the nearby high street for parking options.
📍 Victoria Place Car Park, a 5-10 minute walk from the seafront, is an alternative to explore. Remember, parking on the high street itself has a maximum stay of two hours. Use this link for navigation: https://goo.gl/maps/mJyVBx65sQZRNHw5A there is also a car park at the YMCA but again this has a maximum stay of two hours.
If you’re open to a short walk, parking on the streets further away from the seafront provides more availability and flexibility. Just remember to comply with any parking restrictions in those areas.
If you are using one of the paid-for car parks, we recommend downloading the MiPermit app before arriving as none of the machines take cash.
