The Inlet parking lot is very easy to access. I would recommend using the “parking mobile app” it would be easier to use so you can extend time if you want to on the app. You then don’t have to return to your vehicle to add time. I would recommend downloading the app before you arrive to enter all your information, once there you have easy access to all the rides which would include Trimper’s Rides, the Pier Rides etc. The fishing is also pretty good. You can fish along the seawall all the way out to the Ocean City jetty marker. Price for parking is pretty reasonable in the summer time and in the off-season It’s free, except during some events maybe on the weekend.. It’s great spot to see sunrise in the morning. In the summertime they have showers just before you walk out onto the beach so you can rinse off before getting back to your car. If you’re visiting Ocean City, I would highly recommend this spot to start your summer vacation it puts you right in the thick of everything.
Nothing fancy, can get crowded. You pay via a machine where you put your plate number, no need to put a ticket on your dashboard. We spent about $9 for 3 hours.
This area is one of the big factors that makes Ocean City a more filling place than Rehoboth Beach when it comes down to walking distance between the Beach and the Boardwalk since the parking lot is built closer to the shore. It's beneficial because it saves enough energy for most people that don't have the motivation to walk 3 miles to get to their area while carrying their resources.
Drivers beware. This is a scam! Paid to park but still got a $53.25 bill because they CLAIM I didn't pay. I disputed the bill online and attached a copy of my receipt ticket but obviously it's still not resolved because I received a collection letter. The really kick in the face is the city waited until after their initial payment grace period to mail the invoice. I received it 3 days after the 45 day grace period, so I was charged another $25 fee that's why the total is $53.25. This whole thing is a complete SCAM! It's not like they don't know I already paid, I sent proof plus there where only a half dozen cars in the lot when I was there, so it's not hard to find my payment initially.
Ocean City decided to host Jeep Fest in the middle of SUMMER and on a busy weekend. They blocked off half the parking lot and ruined our beach weekend. Everyone went up to Rehoboth and overcrowded that beach as a result. This kind of “fest” should happen OFF PEAK like in autumn!
Close and convenient parking lot but at $3.50 an hour it can add up quickly. Fine for a short Boardwalk or beach visit but probably not a place to park all day.
It’s a beautiful place to even have lunch yes it’s for parking but it’s free some times of the year and very nice bird views.
They time you when you pull in and exit. So you’re being charged for the time it takes to find a space wait in line for a kiosk after you find one that actually works even when you waiting in line to leave as you yield to all the pedestrians.
Lots of open spot on a holiday week. The pay station was a little confusing at first but I asked a passer by for help and we figured it out!
It's nice without the toll booths coming in and out. It creates more space and less traffic.
