The pier’s lot is inside Juno Beach Park, run by Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation. The fee question is the one other guides get wrong, so we start with what each source says, dated, and what we could not confirm. The tool below lists every lot near the pier with its source.

Is parking at Juno Beach Park free?
What Palm Beach County’s beaches page says
The county’s beaches page says: “While admission to the park is free, there are parking fees at” R. G. Kreusler Memorial Park in Palm Beach and South Inlet Park in Boca Raton. Juno Beach Park and Loggerhead Park are not on that list. The county lists parking as a Juno Beach Park amenity and gives no space count.
- Palm Beach County's beaches page says "While admission to the park is free, there are parking fees at" R. G. Kreusler Memorial Park (Palm Beach) and South Inlet Park (Boca Raton) only. Juno Beach Park and Loggerhead Park are not on that list. The county lists "parking" as a Juno Beach Park amenity but gives no space count. Palm Beach County Parks & Recreation: Beaches
What the news reported in July 2026
WLRN published a Stet News report on July 16, 2026 headed “Palm Beach County drops plan to charge residents for beach parking”. It said commissioners “have abandoned plans to charge county residents to park at 12 beachfront parks”, named “Juno Beach and Loggerhead parks in Juno Beach” among the parks where residents would need parking passes, and said the fees “won’t go into effect until Oct. 1, the start of the county’s new fiscal year.” It also said “Street parking along State Road A1A near the parks would remain free.”
WPTV reported, under the headline “Palm Beach County reverses course on beach parking fees, keeps parking free for residents”, that “The county still plans to move forward with charging nonresidents for parking” and that residents “will need to obtain a free resident beach parking pass which has not yet been established.” Neither report gave a confirmed visitor rate for Juno Beach Park.
What we could not confirm
As of Oct. 19, 2026, we found no county notice or news report confirming that a visitor charge is being collected at Juno Beach Park, and the county’s beaches page still lists fees at the two other parks. We found no published pay station, ParkMobile zone or resident pass process for any lot near the pier. We will update this page when the county publishes one.
Before you park
Check the signs at the lot. If a pay sign is posted, it is the rule that applies that day. If you live in Palm Beach County, ask Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation whether you need a resident pass.
Pier fees are not parking fees
Walking on the pier or fishing from it costs money whatever you pay to park. LMC charges these at the Pier House. See pier hours and fees.

Evening pier visits and the sunset closing
The county beach parks around the pier, including Juno Beach Park, are open sunrise to sunset. LMC’s standing pier schedule shows later winter hours, but since Feb. 19, 2026 it has posted sunrise to sunset pier hours and does not say when the late hours return. Neither operator says how an evening pier visitor parks after the park closes. If you plan to fish after dark this winter, call the pier on 561-855-6185 before you set out.
- Loggerhead Marinelife Center's pier page shows both a standing November 1 to February 28 schedule (6 a.m. to 10 p.m., to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays) and a notice that pier hours have been sunrise to sunset since February 19, 2026. Whether the late-night winter hours apply from November 1, 2026, during the refurbishment, is not stated. Tell readers to check with the pier. Loggerhead Marinelife Center: Juno Beach Pier, Hours
Accessible parking and beach access
Palm Beach County publishes no accessible-space counts for Juno Beach Park, Loggerhead Park, Ocean Cay Park or Carlin Park. Ocean Cay Park and Jupiter Beach Park list an ADA beach mat. Carlin Park and DuBois Park list a beach surf wheelchair; contact a lifeguard to arrange it. The county says to call ahead because erosion or construction can make mats and wheelchairs unavailable. Lifeguards cannot help transfer a person into the beach wheelchair.
