Where to park in St Bees

Whether you’re planning a hike, bike ride or stroll by the seaside, here’s a handy guide on where to park in St Bees. Due to the small scale of the village, most car parks provide easy access to the village and the beach.

  • St Bees Foreshore Car Park 

Up to 2 hours- £2.70, up to 4 hours- £3.90,up to 12 hours £8.00, weekly parking is available from £30, free after 8pm 

The main car park for access to St Bees Beach, this car park is likely the most popular and is large with space for over 200 cars. It is situated beside the Seacote Hotel and offers easy access to the beach and village. 

  • Seamill Car Park

Free

Seamill Lane Beach car park is owned and managed by the Parish Council, meaning parking here is free. It is likely the most difficult car park in the area to access due to the single-track lane and narrow railway bridge on approach. The bridge only has a 1.9 metre headroom making this car park unsuitable for large, tall vehicles.

  • Railway Station Car Park

Free

The railway station car park is on the east side of the station and can be accessed from St Bees Main Street. It is a small car park with room for around 20 cars and is free to park, as it is subsidised by the Parish Council.
