Virginia Beach Parking Lots and Parking Garages

My one piece of advice for people visiting Virginia Beach is… Please do not park illegally!

Read the signs wherever you park. Just because a store is closed doesn’t mean you can park in their lot. Streets are usually well marked and we do have some seasonal metered parking along the oceanfront streets. If you park someplace where you don’t have permission, it is likely that you will be towed. The local government generates a lot of its revenue from parking tickets and the towing companies around here never seem to be hurting for business. Nothing will ruin your vacation quicker than having to spend a bunch of money getting your ride out of car jail.

There are almost 3500 city-owned/leased public parking spaces available for your parking convenience. This does not include private parking, available to patrons of Virginia Beach hotels and restaurants.

The city of Virginia Beach operates seven municipal parking lots and three garages at the oceanfront. All locations and meters accept major credit and debit cards. Pay by phone for on-street parking provided by GoPassport.

If you have questions about a meter, please call (423) 693-0389.
