Beer Car Park
This Car Park could be considered the "Main" car park in Beer. Finding it is easy.
Enter Fore Street, the main "High Street" in Beer, and turn right just before The Dolphin Hotel up Clapps Lane. The hotel has a small car park for patrons and just after it turn left in to this large car park. The car park is a 30 yard level walk to the centre of Beer

OK, so this car park is quite bizzare. It has 163 long stay places and 38 short stay (max four hours).
The hourly rate is £2 in the long stay section and the maximum payment is £8 and thereafter the rest of your stay for that day is free. You can only stay for 4 hours in a yellow space (£6) but in a yellow space it is free after 6 pm until 8 am.

Please note motorcycle parking is FREE but use the dedicated space.
Beer Car Parking
In a nutshell it is as follows:
Yellow spaces. Free parking after 6pm until 8am. Otherwise you have to pay around £2 per hour. Max stay 4 hours unless your stay runs over 6 pm and then the rest of the night is free to 8 am.
White Spaces: No free parking at all. £2 per hour up to £8 then free for 24 hours.
No overnight camping
An Example of Paying for a stay in Beer Central Car park
Assuming you arrive before say 3 pm and plan to stay for "a few hours" if you can find a parking space (yellow or white) park and then pay the appropriate charge BUT if you are in a yellow space you can ONLY stay a maximum of 4 hours and for that you pay £6 BUT you can park for free after 6 pm.
So by example if you are going to a pub and arrive at 4pm and plan to stay until say 9pm (so 5 hours) in a yellow space that is £4 (two paid hours then free after 6 pm) but in a white space that is £7.50 as white spaces are charged 24/7.
If you are in a white space you must pay at the normal rate even after 6 pm.
If you are in a white space you must pay at the normal rate even after 6 pm.
Will I get a space?
This car park can get incredibly busy and even as early as 10 a.m. can be packed on a summer's day. So if you really MUST park here then be early. BUT there is always Cliff Top long stay car park (or Beer Head Car Park as it can be known).
TIP:
If you need to use the Cliff Top Car Park then drop any persons less able to walk off in the village. The journey up/down to it is really quite steep.
