New User-Friendly Parking at Beaches and Parks in the Fort Myers Area

Now you can enjoy easier parking during your stay in our islands, beaches and neighborhoods. Our paid parking locations will now allow you to pay by text message, a mobile app, through a website or at a kiosk.

Here's where you can take advantage of the new parking system:

Beach Parks:
Bonita Beach Park, Bonita Beach Access #1, Bonita Beach Access #10, Bowditch Point Beach Park, Bowmans Beach, Turner Beach, Lynn Hall Memorial Beach Park and San Carlos Bay/Bunche Beach Preserve.

Boat Ramps:
Alva Boat Ramp, Davis Boat Ramp, Imperial River Boat Ramp, Lavender’s Landing, Matlacha Boat Ramp and Pine Island Commercial Marina.

Regional Parks:
Lakes Park, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, Manatee Park, Hickey Creek Mitigation Park and Caloosahatchee Regional Park.

Payments can be made using the following methods:
Pay by Phone: After scanning the QR code, you'll receive a text message with a link to pay for parking. Alternatively, texting PARK to the designated short code will generate a payment link.

Pay at Kiosk: Locate the Premium Parking kiosk in the parking lot, enter your license plate number, select the amount of time, and pay using cash, debit, or credit card. Kiosks do not provide change. Beach parks will initially only offer text-to-pay and online payment options until kiosks are installed at a later date.

Pay Online: Visit www.premiumparking.com, locate the parking lot, enter your license plate number, and follow the instructions to complete payment.

Mobile App: The Premium Parking app is available for download via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
