Beach Access for Wheel Chairs

Published by Tybee Concierge at 2:23 pm under Beach Blog, Services

Tybee Island continues to try and refurbish streets and sidewalks to help the mobility impaired to enjoy the beaches and shops on the island. Currently, there are seven Mobi-Mat locations for wheelchairs to access the beach. They are located at:

Gullick Street; East Gate (2nd Street and Solomon); 8th Street ; 9th Street; 13th Street; 14th Street; and 18th Street at the south end of the parking lot on the Strand.

We are now happy to report that the Ocean Rescue Headquarters can supply specialized beach wheelchairs at no charge for temporary use. Their office is located just outside the Tybee Island Marine Science Center and next to the Pier. The chairs have very large, hard-plastic wheels which allow them to roll more easily over sand. Built entirely of plastic, they will not rust in the sea air. Due to limited availability of these two chairs, they cannot be held or reserved and must be returned by the end of each day. To check on current availability before heading to the beach, lifeguards can be reached at (912) 786-4573 Ext. 119.
