The spots where you can legally park will appear on the map along with their prices. The green spots are the ones that are free charge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro tip: Some of the metered spots (in blue) might be free of charge as well if you happen to park outside of the metered hours \u2013 mostly Monday to Sunday 9:00 AM \u2013 9:00 PM \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spotangels-blog.s3.amazonaws.com\/long beach\/image\" alt=\"map of free parking in Long beach - SpotAngels\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotangels.com\/long-beach-parking\"><button class=\"button button-blog\">Map of Long beach Free Parking<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Long Beach Parking Rules:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Long Beach has some nice parking rules.
