Accessibility

Boardwalk Availability: Spring–Autumn 2025 The wooden boardwalk offers level access from the pavement, with bays for resting without blocking the pathway. Two sections are available: Harbour Beach (near the Marina) and North Walk (by Lifeguard Station). Due to extreme tides, the boardwalks don’t provide water access. Sea and sand wheelchairs, plus a sand rollator, are available FREE from 1st July – 30th August with online booking. Collect from the Lifeguard Station on North Walk. Bookings require 24 hours' notice. To book, scan the QR code, visit www.ryde-marina.co.uk, or call 01983 811105.

Toilets

An accessible toilet is available in the Eastern Gardens Facilities. From 1st July 2025 and until the end of summer, we will be providing a temporary seasonal Changing Places unit. Although this will be slightly smaller than a permanent facility, it will include an adult-size changing bench, freestanding hoist system, toilet, washbasin etc. This will be located next to our Eastern Gardens Toilets, only meters away from the boardwalk on Ryde (Harbour) Beach.

Staff

Our Beachfront staff on Harbour Beach (Ryde Beach) can assist with the hire of deckchairs, sun loungers, parasols and wind-breaks. The Lifeguards, located on North Walk, will assist with the specialist equipment booked online.
