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.
