[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Selectmen of the Town of
Kennebunkport 3-24-2005; amended
in its entirety 2-10-2022. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
Parking in the Goose Rocks Beach area is regulated during the summer season through a parking sticker program because the demand for parking far exceeds the limited number of on-street parking spaces available. Parking stickers are available for daily, weekly and seasonal use. A Goose Rocks Beach parking sticker does not guarantee that a parking space will be available at any particular time. See § 160-27.
As used in this Chapter 315, the following terms have the following meanings.
A person who:
Resides in the Town of Kennebunkport with a valid lease or rental

Hotels, inns, short-term rentals, and the Goose Rocks Beach General
Store. Hotels, inns, owners of rental properties (including room rentals),
and the Goose Rocks Beach General Store shall be allowed to purchase,
for resale to their customers, daily and weekly parking stickers for
$25 and $100 each, respectively. Stickers must be marked with a laundry-marking
pen or other indelible marker to show the date or dates for which
they are issued. If these conditions are not met, the sticker will
be considered void. The establishment selling the sticker is responsible
for recording guest information, including the license plate number
of the vehicle, the sticker number, and the day or week for which
the sticker is issued and explaining to the customer the beach and
parking rules and regulations.
Goose Rocks Beach parking stickers are not transferable between vehicles. Each parking sticker must be firmly adhered to the lower left-hand corner of the rear window of the vehicle. Any parking sticker not firmly adhered in that location shall be considered void and a violation of these rules and regulations and the Town of Kennebunkport ordinance, Chapter 160, Traffic and Vehicles, Article II, Traffic and Parking Control.
It shall be the policy of the Town of Kennebunkport to deny
the issuance of any Goose Rocks Beach parking sticker:
