Parking Near Brighton Beach on Madeira Drive
For a beach visit at 299 Madeira Drive, the closest named option in the local guidance is Brighton Theatre car park, operated by NCP and described as being within a short walk of Brighton Pier (NCP). The pier is the main landmark used by the operator when directing drivers towards parking for the seafront (NCP).

Brighton Marina and Other Nearby Parking Choices
The car park has a 1.95-metre height restriction, so taller vehicles need to account for that before choosing the marina as a parking base (Brighton Marina).

NCP Russell Road car park is described as handy for Brighton Pier and the beach, while Brighton Theatre car park is within easy walking distance of the Theatre Royal (My Getaways). These options suit visitors who want to leave the car in central Brighton and continue towards the seafront on foot.
