Daytime street parking in St Bees is not usually a problem but in some areas, notably Main Street, it can be difficult after normal working hours. Long stay parking is not available apart from some of the hotels and B&Bs which offer this service for those staying on the premises. The Priory has limited parking for those visiting the church as does the Adams Recreation Ground for those using the grounds. St Bees School has a large car park but this is only for school use and for those attending meetings in their facilities.
Visitors are encouraged to use either of the two car parks in the village – at the beach or by the Railway Station, the latter being free.
Most accommodation has some car parking availability.
