Hidden Beach does not provide on-site parking.
There are, however, a number of public car parks and on-street options nearby in Hastings, including accessible parking for people with disabilities.
We also offer a drop-off point close to the festival site at The Oval, so visitors can be dropped nearby and then park elsewhere.
Below is a guide to some of the most convenient parking options.

A gentle note
Hidden Beach is not affiliated with any of the car parks listed above.
They are shared simply as helpful local guidance.
Parking availability can change, especially during busy summer weekends, so we recommend allowing extra time where possible.
