Stone Harbor Parking Rate Update

Posted May 19th 2026

Paid parking has been a big topic of conversation for the Borough of Stone Harbor for the last few months. Parking across New Jersey beach towns has been steadily increasing in recent years, now averaging around $2 per hour.

Two years ago, Stone Harbor switched from parking meters to completely mobile parking payment through the app ParkMobile. At the time of implementation, the charge was $1 per hour plus ParkMobile’s 35-cent fee for each credit card transaction.

This year, the Stone Harbor borough’s website was updated to list parking as $2.50 an hour. After receiving public pushback, on April 21, the Borough Council members met to discuss the change in parking prices. This resulted in the borough lowering the price to $2 an hour, but continued discussions on parking payment and the 94th Street and Second Avenue free parking lot are ongoing.

Paid parking for Stone Harbor began May 1 for this season, and as of now, parking is $2 per hour for every zone except for Zone 87522, where payment is $20 for all-day parking. New hourly limits for specific zones have been implemented as well. For specific parking regulations, review limitations on the ParkMobile sign for each zone or visit the “parking” section on the borough website, stoneharbornj.org.
