Parking in Rehoboth Beach can be tricky, especially during the peak season. Here's a breakdown to help you navigate it:

 

May 15th to September 15th (Peak Season):

Meters and Permits: Parking is regulated and requires either a permit or payment at parking meters.

• All non-metered areas of the city require a parking permit daily from 10AM to 5PM.
• Meters are in effect from 10 AM to 10 PM and cost $4 per hour.
• You can pay for meters with quarters, credit card, or the Parkmobile app.

Head-in Parking: You must park head-in at all angled or perpendicular spaces (except for handicap-accessible vehicles).
Time Limits: Most meters have a 12-hour limit, but some are 30-minute spaces (these still require payment). Grove Park also has different time limits.
No Parking Zones: Be mindful of residential permit parking zones and time-limited parking areas.

 

September 16th to May 14th (Off-Season):

Free Parking: Generally, parking is free in most areas.
Overnight Restrictions: Pay attention to any posted signage, as some areas may have restrictions.

 

Tips for Finding Parking:

Arrive Early: Especially during peak season and weekends, spots fill up quickly.
Parkmobile App: Consider using the Parkmobile app for convenient payment and to extend your time remotely (if needed).
Peripheral Parking: Look for parking a little further from the beach and enjoy the walk.
DART Park & Ride: During the summer, the DART Park & Ride offers a convenient option with buses running frequently to Rehoboth Beach.
