Bayham has partnered with HONK Mobile for this pilot program. Those parking at the East Beach between 9 am to 7 pm from May 1st to September 30th will be subject to paid parking requirements.
Beach Paid Parking
Council approved a pilot program to implement paid parking at the Port Burwell East Beach for the 2025 season. Direction was provided to set a daily rate for non-residents of $4/hour or $18/day, and the availability for residents to obtain a $0 seasonal resident parking permit.
How is this program being administered?
I'm a Bayham resident - how do I park for free?
If you are a Bayham resident you need a Seasonal Resident Parking Permit to park at the East Beach for free. A maximum of two (2) permits per household can be registered and your application needs to be approved before your first visit.
A Seasonal Resident Parking Permit is a digital permit provided through HONK. There is no physical permit to have in your vehicle.
How do I get a Seasonal Resident Parking Permit and what is the process?
Apply for your Seasonal Resident Parking Permit through THIS ONLINE FORM. You can apply individually or for both your household permits at one time.
Once this form is submitted, staff have seven (7) business days to review and approve or deny the application. Once approved or denied, you will receive an email from HONK noting your approval or denial and outlining the next steps to complete. Submitting the above application form does not mean you have received a permit.
You must complete all steps from HONK to officially obtain your permit. See this step by step guide of what you can expect to do through the HONK app for this step. Make sure to check your junk mail!
Once you have completed all steps to obtain your Seasonal Resident Parking Permit, you can park at the East Beach in the vehicle that you tied to your permit without paying a fee. You do not need to log your session (visit) if you have a Seasonal Resident Parking Permit as long as you are using the vehicle that you have registered.
Your Seasonal Resident Parking Permit is tied to one (1) license plate only so be sure to take the registered vehicle to the beach if you do not want to pay for parking.
Two (2) permits are allowed per household so you may sign up with multiple vehicles if you want to use them interchangeably.
If you need to change the license plate that is registered with your account, please contact parking@bayham.on.ca to discuss.
