Beach Wheelchairs

Beach Wheelchairs are equipped with large, wide wheels which can roll across the sand without sinking. Beach wheelchairs enable anyone to safely enjoy the beach, sand and water.

The beach chairs can be signed out for the day. They must be returned prior to the end of the beach day. 4 pm Weekdays and 5 pm Weekends and Holidays. Please be courteous and return them on time. The Lifeguard Staff needs adequate time for closing the beaches safely.

During peak times such as holidays, we may ask that the beach chairs be used in 2 hour increments. On these occasions, IF no one is waiting to use a chair they can be reserved for an additional 2 hours. Chairs must be returned before the end of beach day to lifeguard headquarters.

Beach Chairs are available on a first come first serve basis through the Lifeguard Headquarters. You may pick them up at the Lifeguard Headquarters on Philadelphia Avenue ID is required. Should you need assistance in getting the chair to your beach entrance, we will accommodate you when possible.
