Introduction
What is a Beach Wheelchair?
Today, there are a variety of beach wheelchairs makes and models on the market. Beach Wheelchairs are equipped with larger, wider wheels and tires which roll across the sand without sinking. They usually require users to be accompanied by someone pushing them, although some models offer self-propelled and/or motorized chairs.
Main Item
More and more public beaches are providing beach wheelchairs either for free or hire and you, of course, can also purchase your own.
There are generally two main types of beach wheelchair:
- Floating Beach Wheelchairs - These aid you in moving across the beach and into the water. They often feature a selection of reclining positions, a harness for travel across the beach, and floating armrests.
