Parking Payment System

Pros:

  • "Nice beach in Newquay. Great for surfing, sunbathing and ample parking nearby."
  • "It’s a premium rate car park for Fistral beach. However, it’s location is extremely convenient and if you manage to get a space, it’s worth the money in my opinion."

Cons:

  • "The parking meters were not working."
  • "DO NOT PARK IN HERE. It's a SCAM place."
  • "Avoid, they time your stay from the moment of entry to the moment of exit, so if you queue to exit and 'overstay' you get a fine."
  • "Should have read the reviews!! As many others, I got fined for not paying while finding my space / getting just park to work..."
  • "Very misleading message on the machine so ended up with a £60 parking fine!"

Cons:
