I observed the accessible beach area at Benidorm. Established by the council this was clearly marked and seemed well used. The large covered area included a changing area hut and accessible toilets. Aquachairs were available for people to go out into the sea. They were very popular.
Disabled Access In and Around
Good
There are four areas made specifically accessible - two on each of the main beaches. Acces via ramped boardwalks are available all the way along and I saw people with mobility difficulties using them.
Parking & Transport
Good
The entire front is level access and ramps take you down onto the beach. Buses are clearly marked, not all are accessible but most are. Bus stops are on a street parralell to the beach promenade.
Accessible Toilets
Average
I did not use but these ere clearlt marked and offered a number of cubicles not just one.
Staff
Average
Staff and volunteers are on hand. All wearing clearly marked t shirts. I saw them preparing the areas each morning. All seemed friendly and welcoming.
Additional Information
I wasn't with anyone who used the areas but from what I could see they were well used and clearly had been thought about.
