Car Parking
Shaldon is a small fishing village which was never designed with the car in mind so on-street parking is hard to find. Please check the signs near the parking bays as the rules are different depending on the season.
There are two car parks in the village, the King George V short-stay one (46 spaces) about 50 yards on the right after coming into the village over the bridge, and the long-stay Ness car park (324 spaces) accessed via Ness Drive from the top of the main Torquay Road.
Visitors can buy a weekly parking permit that is valid for all the pay and display car parks in the Teignbridge district from here.
