Parking in Long Beach, NJ

Parking in Long Beach Township is primarily free curbside parking near beaches, rentals and businesses. Because the township includes several separated communities, visitors should navigate to an exact street rather than search for one central Long Beach parking area.

Long Beach Township Parking at a Glance

• Beach parking: Legal street parking near public beach entrances.
• Parking cost: No single township-wide meter or beach-lot payment system.
• Main public area: Municipal facilities and Bayview Park are around 68th Street in Brant Beach.
• Accessible transportation: Beach Gators and Beach Wheels are available through township programs.
• Alternative transportation: The seasonal LBI Shuttle runs along Long Beach Island.

Where to Park for the Beach

Choose the beach entrance closest to your accommodation and use a legal public curb space on the surrounding streets. Long Beach Township includes Brant Beach, Beach Haven Crest, North Beach, Loveladies, Holgate and other communities, so include the street number and community name when navigating.

Beach badges are separate from parking. Purchasing a badge does not provide a reserved space.

Bayview Park and 68th Street

The municipal complex and Bayview Park provide parking for township offices, recreation programs and park activities. Concerts, festivals and other events can occupy the lot or temporarily close part of 68th Street. Do not rely on this lot as general all-day beach parking when an event or municipal activity is scheduled.

Free Parking Rules

• Read signs on the block where the vehicle is parked.
• Keep driveways, intersections, fire zones and pedestrian routes open.
• Do not park at a boat ramp, park or municipal facility unless using that facility under its posted rules.
• After flooding, avoid standing water and obey temporary closures.

Accessible Beach Access

The Beach Gator program transports eligible visitors from a streetside entrance over the dunes. Beach Wheels are also available. Contact the township transportation program in advance to confirm operating dates, pickup procedures and the best place to park.

RVs, Trailers and Overnight Parking

Arrange parking with your rental owner or accommodation before bringing an RV, camper, boat trailer or oversized vehicle. Do not assume an unmetered street permits overnight storage.

Use the LBI Shuttle

Once legally parked, the LBI Shuttle can reduce the need to move the car for dining and entertainment. The 2026 summer schedule begins June 26 and generally operates during afternoon and evening hours. Memorial Day and shoulder-season schedules differ. Exact fare is required, and digital passes are available through My Beach Mobile.
