BEACH ACCESSIBILITY
Beaches can be an accessibility challenge for visitors and residents using walkers or wheelchairs. Due to the soft sand, wheels and legs of walkers can sink in, making them tough to maneuver.
As part of our commitment to making our beaches as accessible as possible, we continue to research beach accessibility measures to help visitors and residents explore our shorelines.
