Overall Rating
Excellent
Balmedie beach has a lovely small team of volunteers that hire out ( for free) various beach buggies and wheelchairs. There is a hoist and a change table etc. You have to call the number on their Facebook to book ( to make sure a team member is there to help you). They have 2 different sized hippocampe buggies and 3 other types. Something for everyone. Lovely to get into the beach with friends and family.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Soft sand at start of the beach needed a bit more effort to push but rest of it totally fine. Wooden walkway to the sand was easy. Car park to bunker where the buggies are is tarmac
Parking & Transport
Excellent
There are several disabled spaces, but plenty of other parking too
Accessible Toilets
Average
Just a disabled loo, but a change table and screen in the buggy bunker. The volunteers are trying to get a full changing places asap
