Free parking at a seafront multi-storey car park is set to end as charges are introduced.
Brighton Marina says a managed parking system is being brought in at its multi-storey car park, although berth holders and eligible site employees will still be able to park for free.
The marina's website still advertises free parking for visitors for up to four hours and says the car park has space for 1,500 vehicles.
However, a spokesperson for the marina said that a tariff will be introduced, though they did not specify prices or a start date for the charges.
Brighton Marina said the managed system was intended to improve safety and security and help pay for maintenance.
A spokesperson for Brighton Marina said: "We can confirm that a managed parking system is being introduced at Brighton Marina’s multi-storey car park.
"This will aim to improve safety and security, as well as help fund ongoing maintenance to enhance guest experience."
The spokesperson added: "Once introduced, the tariffs will make Brighton Marina one of the most competitively priced car parks in the city.
"Free parking will remain available for berth holders and eligible site employees."

The marina's travel information also says Asda offers customer parking for up to two hours.
Parking charges at the multi-storey have been discussed before: The Argus reported in 2005 that marina managers were considering them to stop drivers using the car park as a park-and-ride.
At the time, the paper reported that some traders feared charges could drive away customers, while some residents were concerned about the cost.
