Free village parking at Nacton with coastal access
Shore Lane Parking is a council-operated surface lot serving Nacton village and adjacent coastal walks. It provides 30 marked bays including two disabled spaces located near the pedestrian exit. Operating hours are sunriseĀsunset; no charges apply. The gravel-and-asphalt surface is graded for drainage and inspected quarterly; minor repairs within 48 hours. LED bollard lighting ensures minimal illumination for early-morning and late-evening visitors, and no CCTV coverage is present. Pedestrian pathways lead to Nacton village centre (3 minute walk) and to the coastal footpath toward Levington (5 minutes). No EV charging stations are available; nearest public charger is at Levington Car Park, a 5 minute drive away. Monthly litter clearance and roadside verge maintenance maintain a pleasant rural environment.
