The City of Long Branch is providing free parking at the municipal lot across from Ocean Place Resort on Ocean Blvd for Long Branch residents. First discussed at the Workshop on April 10, 2019, the Mayor and Council want to provide a free beach parking option for residents in Summer 2019.
The municipal lot and adjacent lots can only be used when the lots are open. Lots are sometimes not open in inclement weather. Residents must show proof of residency upon entering the parking lot with both a vehicle registration card AND driver’s license. Only vehicles that are registered to a legal address within the City of Long Branch will be allowed to park for free. People entering the lot will be asked to show the vehicles registration AND the driver’s license of the person operating the vehicle upon entering the lots. These parking lots will be closed when full and will be filled on a first come, first serve basis.
To find out more information please call Nick Bucciero in the Police Department at 732-571-5684.
