Rhyl Beach

It is impossible to find a leisure / life guard around to get the beach chair out of storage. There are no changing or showering facilities for disabled people in the area. There is a public accessible WC with a charge of using but it automatically opens after 20 minutes. There is highlighted pathway across the promenade to the beach ramped access. This ramp is not supported by any boarded surface on the beach and is in fact is unreasonably difficult for wheelchair users to use as there are numerous cullys across the ramp allowing for water drainage. Good intentions but too many barriers for wheelchair users. Ideal for kite flyers which is the original intended purpose of the ramp.

If you go to the Liquid Force Kite cafe on Rhyl front the owner will be able to help, he will ring the life guards to get the key and there are accessible beach wheelchairs in the red and brick lock up shed. They are excellent so easy to use on the beach and go in the sea. There is a purpose built ramp to use on them down to the beach. They are brilliant no one seems to know they are there, but they are, don't let them tell you otherwise. Simon the owner of the cafe will help if you're stuck and he does amazing ice-cream and coffees. Well worth a trip to this beach just to be able to get on it. Only down side seems to be we couldn't find any changing places in North Wales.
