Planning a trip to Zephyr Cove Beach this holiday weekend? Expect steep parking fees and strict enforcement along Highway 50.
Visitors headed to Zephyr Cove Beach over the Fourth of July weekend are being urged to plan ahead, as parking will be limited and in high demand.
According to Douglas County in an online Facebook Post, the paid parking program at Warrior Way will be in effect from July 4 through July 6.
During that time, the rate will be $100 per day.
The post says that Douglas County residents can still park for free at Warrior Way. License plate readers will automatically verify in-county plates to determine eligibility.
Visitors must pay on-site using their phones, either by scanning a QR code or sending a text message. No cash or credit card options will be available on-site.
Parking on either side of Highway 50 is prohibited, and Douglas County warns that violators will be ticketed or towed.
Revenue from the paid parking program supports the Douglas County School District, the Booster Program, and Douglas County Parks and Recreation.
The county is reminding beachgoers to recreate responsibly and help keep Zephyr Cove safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone.
More information is available at Douglas County Community Services and Take Care Tahoe.
