Weymouth Beach

Weymouth Beach is a wonderfully accessible beach! The beach has a beautiful wheelchair accessible promenade which provides a lovely walk, suitable for all. It is tarmac and is flat all the way. The promenade has a recently refurbished toilet block which has a number of accessible toilets as well as a large Changing Place facility with ceiling track hoist and changing bench/shower bed - it has a shower too! The beach is close to the town centre which is flat and accessible also. It is possible to hire a beach wheelchair from outside the large toilet block on the promenade. These wheelchairs are manual so require a pusher, there are two available to hire. There is ramp access to the beach and in the summer a small area of the beach opposite the facilities block, is covered with plastic sheeting so it is possible to access the beach with a standard wheelchair, however this sheeting does not provide access to the sea unfortunately. The beach is a sand beach. There is some disabled parking on the road that the promenade is on, right next to the beach, opposite the back of Marks and Spencers. There is a large carpark with disabled spaces at the end of the promenade behind Weymouth Pavilion. Great for a family day out!

Weymouth beach has a few ramps which wheelchairs or mobility scooters can access there are a couple of places where there is square matting on the sand which you can drive over enabling you to sit right on the beach they don't go out very far but length ways they do got out quite a bit. You can hire (for free) a beach wheelchair just call up beach control or ask a beach control person they often walk along the prom and if they're available you can hire one you will need proof of I.d so a drivers license or similar which they keep hold of unti you return the wheelchair it is very nice to sit on although bumpy going over the sand. There are disabled toilets at the old t.i.c building where the buses stop which one is open to anyone without a radar key and the other you need a radar key to open. They also have a changing places toilet and changing room with a hoist you can get a key fob from the local council if you meet the requirements to need that toilet ie have profound spinal problems so it's worth checking ahead if you need that changing places toilet.
