Parking at the Weirs is now expensive to pay for the beach. Same as Hampton Beach. I'm accepting this as the new norm.

Last year, 2022, Laconia raised the price from $2 to $2.50/hr to park a car, no trailers allowed, in the parking lot at the sandy weirs beach close to Endicott Rock. There's about ten spaces immediately close to the Weirs Channel, and it's a totally excellent spot for unloading a kayak/sup from car roof top to Weirs Channel, about 20' distance.
And, it's about 100-yards up the channel and around the rock jetty, there, to be paddling just out beyond that swim area rope line, an area pretty much empty of motorboats. By paddling the shallows there's no hassles with all the angry motorboats in the channel.
