Life's A Beach, If You Can Find Parking: Register Now For 2024 Permit

EAST HAVEN, CT — As the 2024 beach season is approaches, it's time to apply (or re-apply) for East Haven Town Beach parking permits online.

Permits are issued at no cost to residents. Residents who live on “permit parking only” streets will be receiving new hang passes in the mail. The permit season runs from May 15 to Oct. 15.

According to a Facebook post by East Haven police, to "maintain the integrity of the program, we will be requiring all of our residents to re apply for beach parking permits."

This means, if a resident had an electronic permit attached to their vehicle to park in a “permit parking only” area near the beach, they have to re-apply for a new permit, the first time residents will be required to re-apply since the beginning of the program four years ago.
