Cobourg introduces new visitor waterfront parking pass

The Town of Cobourg is offering regular visitors an option for parking with a new waterfront parking pass.

The $150 pass for the season allows non-residents to visit the waterfront and pay a flat rate for parking at Victoria Beach from the May long weekend until Thanksgiving.

Currently, waterfront parking is $5 an hour or a flat rate of $40 per day during the same time span. There is no fee during the winter months.
