beach wheelchair
Coastal access chair
A beach wheelchair is a wheelchair designed for use on sand and in shallow water.
Unlike standard wheelchairs, beach wheelchairs have wide, balloon-like tires or flotation devices that prevent sinking into soft surfaces.
Many beaches and resorts offer them for loan or rental: We reserved a beach wheelchair so my mother could join us at the shore.
