Starting May 18th, the City of Gloucester will be launching a new online parking reservation system for non-resident beachgoers. Visitors will now be required to reserve parking spots at Good Harbor Beach, Wingaersheek Beach, and Stage Fort Park. You may reserve a parking space up to 10 days in advance via the City of Gloucester’s Yodel website.

Cash will no longer be accepted at the gate, and reservations will be required for entrance to Good Harbor Beach, Wingaersheek Beach, and Stage Fort Park. Reservations are non-refundable, so visitors are encouraged to plan accordingly.

Lodgers had previously been eligible for a discounted parking rate through a Guest Voucher. The City is working to find ways to make the Guest Voucher work with the new reservation system. Please stay tuned for updates.

This new system will streamline and improve the beach-going experience for all visitors while improving traffic and overcrowding. For more information, please see the Beach Parking FAQs below.
