Beach wheelchairs available at some area beaches

April 10, 2009 4:03 PM
South Walton Fire District

Limited mobility can present a challenge to some visitors from experiencing the sugar white sand and warm waters of the Gulf. Realizing this need, the SWFD and TDC developed a program that would provide three beach wheelchairs, strategically located along the Beaches of South Walton, to improve access to the beach. The wheelchairs were purchased by the TDC and the program is administered by the SWFD Beach Safety Division.

 The wheelchairs are designed and constructed by Deming Designs, Inc. 1090 Cobblestone Dr. Pensacola, FL  32514.  The wheelchairs are constructed from stainless steel tubing with large bubble tires that allow the chair to traverse the soft sand.

 The wheelchairs will be located at the following beach accesses: Pompano Joe's (Miramar Beach), Ed Walline Park (Santa Rosa Beach) and Bramble Grove (Seagrove Beach) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily from April through September.

Yes. This would allow for low speed vehicles to traverse the roadways.
No. This road is already over-crowded and dangerous.
No. I don't want to be stuck behind someone on a golf cart.
