Common questions
Can a non-resident park here to launch a boat?
The posted parking-permit rule limits lot parking to Westport residents and property owners ($30/yr permit); the town's general landing-use policy says the public can use the landing itself the same as residents, so a non-resident who parks elsewhere and carries in may still have landing access.
