Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at the Santa Monica Pier Deck The closest option is the Pier parking deck, which sits at the attraction itself and is operated for visitors to the site. The deck is open Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 8 PM (santamonicapier.org), making it a practical choice for daytime visits when you want to park beside the pier rather than walk from downtown. The operator also directs visitors to Beach Lot 1 North at 1550 Appian Way as an alternative parking area (santamonicapier.org). The city lists Beach Parking Lot 1 North at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica, CA 90401, with Friday and Saturday hours of 6 AM to 2 AM (santamonica.gov). The pier operator encourages alternative transportation because of heavy traffic around the waterfront (santamonicapier.org). ## Parksy Spaces Near Santa Monica Pier Parksy lists several spaces about 0.3 mi from the site. A secure parking space at 1515 Ocean Ave costs $15 a day, while a secure spot at the Shore Hotel garage also costs $15 a day. A secure parking garage on Ocean Ave is available for $249 a month, which suits drivers looking for a longer-term arrangement rather than a single visit. Three covered or garage spaces at Palisades Promenade are also listed 0.3 mi away. Each costs $15.80 an hour, including the covered parking garage and two additional parking spaces at the promenade. Show map of Santa Monica ## Downtown Santa Monica Parking and Beach Lot 1 North Beach Lot 1 North is a named city parking facility at 1550 Pacific Coast Highway, Santa Monica, CA 90401 (santamonica.gov). The pier operator also identifies the beach lot at 1550 Appian Way as a parking option for visitors (santamonicapier.org). These references point drivers toward the beach-side parking area as an alternative to the deck beside the attraction. Downtown Santa Monica provides another named parking area for visitors who are comfortable parking farther inland and continuing on foot. Its published rates are $1.25 each hour, a $16 daily maximum per entry, and $65 monthly (downtownsm.com). Downtown parking can work well when the pier deck is outside its operating hours or when you want to combine the waterfront with a broader downtown visit.
