Seasonal Sticker Sales

Residents can now purchase their 2024 Resident Beach Sticker through the online portal or in person at City Hall.

Information on in-person sales will be available soon. See the City’s website for updates.

Reminder, the City will use fixed license plate reader cameras at the gates to verify the beach sticker and associated license plate. So your resident beach parking sticker will not have your license plate written on it. Please contact bsticker@gloucester-ma.gov or 978-325-5157 with questions.

Non-Resident Stickers: The City is not selling non-resident stickers this season. Reservations can be purchased through the online parking reservation system, Blinkay, for Good Harbor Beach, Wingaersheek Beach, and Stage Fort Park.
