🌊💙 A wonderful day at Exmouth Beach! 💙🌊

One of our fantastic Beach Wheelchair volunteers decided to make the most of the beautiful weather today and take his 97-year-old mum down to the beach for some fresh sea air and a trip to the water’s edge using one of our Mobi-Chairs. 🏖️☀️

We were sent these lovely photos from their visit, and we just had to share them! 🥰 Moments like these are exactly why the Beach Wheelchair Service is so important – helping people of all ages enjoy the sand, sea and everything our beautiful beach has to offer.

We have two Mobi-Chairs available to hire, along with a range of other specialist beach wheelchairs to suit different needs.

💙 All of our beach wheelchairs are completely FREE to hire.

If you, a family member, friend or someone you support would benefit from using one of our beach wheelchairs, please get in touch or check availability and book for the remainder of our 2026 season:

🌊 Beach Wheelchair Story Spotlight 💙

There's nothing quite like seeing the joy that our Beach Wheelchair Service can bring.

Recently, 10-year-old Amelia-Rose visited the beach using one of our beach wheelchairs, and she kindly shared her experience with us.

💬 A quick Q&A with Amelia-Rose...

🐚 What do you love doing at the beach?
"Looking for shells, going in the water in the wheelchair and building sandcastles."

💙 Why did you want to use a beach wheelchair?
"To join my class friends on the beach."

😊 How did it make you feel?
"Very happy to be able to get onto the beach using the Batman chair."

⭐ What was your favourite part of the day?
"Accessing the beach, using the Batman chair and looking for shells with my class friends."

🌊 Was there anything you were able to do that you couldn't do before?
"Go onto the sand and down to the sea."

❤️ What would you say to another child thinking about using one of our beach wheelchairs?
"I would say to them that I find it really fun and it makes me happy that I can use it on the beach."

Stories like Amelia-Rose's remind us exactly why this service is so important. Everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy the beach, make memories with friends and experience the sea without barriers.

A huge thank you to Amelia-Rose and her family for allowing us to share their story and photograph. We hope it encourages other families to discover what's possible. 🌊💙
