If there's no spot available, either take a lap around or park in the spaces on the shore line. You can still pick up there if you're in a parking spot.
At night, there's 12 spots there. You can park in the lifeguard spots because they are off duty and it doesn't matter.

I haven't used the pickup lot yet. I've always managed to find a spot on either Beacon Blvd or Ocean Ave.
I did maybe 4-5 drop offs there this weekend and 3 pickups.
I did have a girl try to tell me at 12:05 AM that Parker House closed and all the cops were gone so just pull in this driveway because she's at her friends house and they won't hassle me.
I had just been there 5 minutes before and it was, of course, crawling with cops and taxis. No way was I pulling in that driveway. I found a spot on Beacon near it though and picked her up.
Just gotta look out for ourselves, never let the rider judge the risk of a situation. They will always put you at risk because it's no risk to them.

Picking up on Beacon can be dangerous. Now that there is an actual area for us to go, Cops will ticket if we don't follow the rules.
I saw quite a few cars being ticketed on beacon, literally 30 feet from the Uber lot.

At the corner of beacon and ocean, to the left. There are a lot of signs up for "lifeguard parking only"'but that's only during the day.

Yes. Part of the reason Parker is such a kill zone in the past was because of residential complaints. The rule is basically get as far away from houses if you can.
I did see cops telling people who were parked legally that if they were an Uber, go to the lot.
Can you imagine spending probably close to a million on a house and it happened to be one of the houses directly across from Parker. Lol think about it, must really suck, no privacy or seclusion, random cars pulling into your driveway all night and day, constant hords of drunks constantly right in your front yard, the noise from the live bands, an army of rent a cops having to be stationed right outside your house. I'm willing to bet those homes are so devalued. But on the upside your within walking distance of one of the hottest shore bar destination.
and yea I agree with porkroll, I wouldn't even park in one of the legal parking spaces on Beacon to pick up or drop off.

Can you imagine spending over a million on a house and not researching the area first?
Just as PorkRoll said...
As I was waiting for my PAX in the Uber lot I heard a cop standing at the corner of Beacon and Ocean telling another driver that he needed to get out of the parking spot on Ocean and go into the lot.

I was BS'ing with one of the cops who was standing at the PH lot, was very pleasant guy.
Was that you got pulled over by police last night at PH Uber lot?
