Parking charges!

[Buckman]

When we first visited Brean beach to go onto the beach cost £2.50. Over the years the cost increased. Last year it was £4.50, but this year it is £8 for the day or £4 if after 2pm. However in Weston Super Mare it is now £14 or £7 half day! BB or not you still pay although a reduced rate. Normally either beach is very busy, but not over the past week. Today at about 4pm not many people on the beach. Talk about killing the goose that lays the golden egg!

My wife and I were in the south of France in 2019, we thought it would be nice to go to Monaco for the day, so off we set. Upon arrival I drove to the harbour/marina and managed to park in the underground car park at La Rascasse, the very same as the “Rascasse Corner”

So parked up, took the ticket and had a very lovely day in Monaco, imagining Ayrton Senna taking Loews Corner. We had spent around six hours before returning, thinking how much the parking is going to cost. Right on the Marina in Monaco!

So, long story short……..Half of what it cost us to park in Exeter two weeks later……for HALF the time!

RIP of Britain at its best.

PS: Monaco was amazing!

Next time drive right to the end of the road and park in the pay and display car park on the right (close to the cafe). It's much cheaper than the beach car parks and you can pay for an hour or two rather than the whole day.

I don't go into my local town to shop or go to cafes or the cinema or pubs except on saturdays when it's free and they wonder why town centres are dying
