Yes, we loan out beach wheelchairs! They are first come, first served. There are no reservations. We will help you load them but they are quite large and won’t fit into an average car trunk. A pickup truck is best but they will fit into some large SUVs.

Heads up beachgoers! While it will be nice and sunny tomorrow, albeit a bit breezy, there is a high risk of rip currents expected. The surf zone is expected to be dangerous, therefore residents and visitors are strongly urged to stay out of the surf!
