Brightlingsea parking with accessible bays, pay-and-display, and walkable access to waterfront and shops.
Victoria Place Car Park is a council-operated surface lot situated off Eastern Road in Brightlingsea town centre. The lot provides 60 sealed tarmac bays, including four accessible spaces located closest to the pedestrian ramp leading to the towns shopping parade. Pay-and-display machines accept coins and contactless cards; tariffs are £1 per hour with a three-hour maximum stay, and a daily cap of £5 during summer, free off-peak. LED lampposts illuminate all aisles from dusk until 10:00 pm, and two CCTV cameras monitor entrances, exits, and accessible bays for security. Covered information boards display local bus timetables for the 75 service to Colchester, maritime festival schedules, and tide time charts for the North Sea. Pedestrian pathways connect directly to the sailing club, cafés, and Brightlingsea Sailing Centre within a two-minute walk. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter clearance to preserve a tidy coastal town environment.
