    https://www.visithengistburyhead.co.uk/Home.aspx We love this for a family day out to the beach with and without dogs/bikes. The beach is about as accessible as beaches can be if you have a suitable wheelchair, and if not the ribbon of tarmac that runs from the carpark to the beach huts (1.5m) is about as close to the action as you can get. Ample disable parking with accessible WC and cafe WC on route at various points
