Beach Chair Project

Cornwall Mobility (in partnership with Disability Cornwall & Isles of Scilly, funded by Cornwall Council) are working with a diverse range of coastal charities and businesses in providing all-terrain wheelchairs, also known as sand chairs, for the public to use on many beaches across Cornwall.

The all-terrain wheelchairs are not suitable for all beaches as some are too steep, remote and dangerous for the chairs to be used safely. Cornwall Mobility has ascertained that the beaches where it deploys these chairs for public use are safe and suitable for their use. However, please also note that there are a couple of beaches that provide beach wheelchairs that have not been provided by, or assessed by, Cornwall Mobility.

The all-terrain wheelchairs have been designed for outdoor use and have large inflatable wheels which allow them to roll over sand and pebbles with remarkable ease giving a comfortable and safe ride.

This has allowed people with mobility challenges the pleasure and freedom to access and enjoy Cornwall’s beaches where they may have found it more difficult in the past.

The new chair is available to hire, free of charge
