Manhattan Beach Free Holiday Parking Begins

Manhattan Beach's tradition of free parking for the holidays begins on Wednesday, November 27.
Street parking meters and
meters in city-owned parking lots across town will be "red-bagged," meaning parking is free, from now through December 25.
Two things to keep in mind about the holiday parking:
1) Although parking in spots with a red-bagged meter is free, if you stay longer than the posted
maximum time, you are subject to a parking ticket.
2) The state-owned
meters at the Manhattan Beach Pier, as well as the county-owned meters
at the El Porto beach/26th Street parking lots, are not included in the
meter bagging. Do not assume that parking is free unless you specifically see a red bag on the meter.
Also, note that the parking downtown will look a little different than usual... With the demolition of Lot 3, the city has created 90 new public parking spaces in various spots around town (on Valley Drive, Manhattan Ave., and more). So although you won't find parking in Lot 3, you'll find more parking in some unexpected places.
