Parking is in high demand in the City of Pismo Beach with roughly 2,000 parking spots in the downtown area.
There's free parking at the Addie Street parking lot but the more highly coveted spots will cost $5 per hour.
"It's outrageous," said visitor Mary Koop.
"You have to charge $15 dollars for 3 hours to park here?" questioned another visitor, Kristi Boren. "It's just a little crazy."
Parking is at a premium.
"Honestly, it's really hard to find parking," said local Angela Robles.
In June of 2020, prices were hiked from $2 per hour in the main oceanfront lot to $5 per hour.
