Parking at Sandbanks
(avoids the car queue either way for the Sandbanks
Ferry)
On busy days most free parking on the few roads at Sandbanks
is taken by 9.30am (10 if you're lucky!). Street parking goes first,
after which you'll have to keep your eyes open for signs on some residents
drives which
advertise parking for around £5 per day. |

Parking on Ferry Road
Ferry road, which is owned by the Ferry Company, is very long and provides ample free parking.
This is the favourite parking for many nudists who access the beach from
Fire Point 6 (FP6). FP6 is on Ferry Road by the bus stop and there's a
footpath (commonly called Footpath 6) that leads from there to the
beach. If you arrive late on busy days convenient parking is taken and you can end up with a
long walk from your car to FP6. |
