Pay a Parking Citation Metered parking is located throughout the coast along Route 1A from Hampton to Rye. Most spots are managed by multi-space pay stations with the exception of North Beach where there is a mixture of traditional coin operated meter heads and the multi-space pay stations. Spots managed by multi-space pay stations require a receipt to be posted on the dashboard of your vehicle. Our Payment Portal is currently under construction and cannot accept credit cards at this time. If you wish to make a credit card payment, you may do so by calling 603-271-3556 option 2.
