About this Location

Facility Overview

LAZ Parking - Pacific City Garage is a premier, multi-level subterranean parking facility situated directly beneath the Pacific City open-air retail and dining complex at 21010 Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, California. Serving both visitors of Pacific City and beachgoers exploring Surf City USA, the structure features two underground decks (P1 and P2) accommodating approximately 1,500 vehicles. The garage is clean, well-engineered, and thoroughly illuminated, offering elevators and escalators that lead patrons straight into the central shopping promenades, food hall, and oceanfront dining terraces.

The garage offers a maximum vertical vehicle clearance of 7 feet 2 inches (7'2"), which comfortably accommodates standard sedans, luxury sports coupes, compact crossovers, and standard full-size pickup trucks or full-size SUVs (such as Ford F-150s, Chevrolet Suburbans, and Cadillac Escalades) without roof attachments. However, high-roof conversion vans, lifted overland rigs, commercial cargo trucks, and recreational vehicles exceeding 7'2" cannot enter and must utilize open-air surface beach lots situated nearby along Pacific Coast Highway.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers planning a visit should keep several insider strategies in mind:

Take Advantage of Validation: Make sure to ask for parking validation whenever dining at Pacific City sit-down restaurants or shopping with participating retailers to receive complimentary or discounted parking windows.
Check Headroom Height: If you drive an SUV or truck with aftermarket roof racks, surf racks, or lift kits, verify your height before entering to ensure clearance under the 7'2" barrier.
Arrive Early for Major Events: During midsummer holidays, Fourth of July fireworks, and airshow weekends, the garage can reach maximum capacity by late morning. Arriving prior to 10:00 AM guarantees parking without prolonged delays.
Remember Your Parking Level: With extensive floor plates across levels P1 and P2, take a photo of your aisle letter and nearest elevator portal to simplify finding your vehicle upon return.
