Carolina Beach, N.C.- A lot of our buyers ask us about paid parking at the beach when they consider a move here. This month, we have some good news for those looking for some free spots!
On Tuesday night (March 15, 2022) the Carolina Beach Town Council changed its mind on a controversial year-round paid parking plan. The board voted to continue to keep street-side parking free from December 1- February 28th. During that time, parking meters will be covered with bags- which have become a traditional site in the beach community during the winter months.
The vote, which passed on a 3-2 margin, changes a decision that was made late last year when the town council voted to expand the parking season at a reduced rate during those three months.
The reversal comes on the heels of complaints from residents and business owners who were unhappy with the year-round paid meters.
