Doesn’t work with Apple Pay

Very inconvenient app

Disgusting

Honest. Parked there for less than an hour, got a ticket. Actually what the heck does this do except deter people from coming to the beach. You and other companies that do this are the reason why beaches and fun places are no longer fun. Terrible thing you’ve done by being here. Please take down your signs and let the parking be free again. I beg you.

User Beware / Avoid if Possible

Be very careful parking in a place run by SurfCast (Otto Connect). Park somewhere where if possible. I paid for parking and still got a violation based on a technicality. Most of the other cars I saw nearby also had violations on their windshield. Seems like they use predatory enforcement.
