The Pier - The largest car park in southwold can be found just north of the pier, this is also the official bus park. Charges apply during summer. An overspill car park, is opened up on the grass land surrounding when the town is busy. Free parking can be found outside the pier and down many of the roads nearby. Please park sensibly so locals can get out!
