Beach Wheelchairs

IMAGE: Reg Owens and Alan Hunt The Access Group piloted these fantastic all terrain wheelchairs on Saundersfoot beach to give residents and visitors improved access to the sands.

As a result of a joint initiative between Pembrokeshire County Council and the Group, two chairs are now based at the Tourist Information Centre on Saundersfoot Harbour.
They can be booked in advance by calling 01834 813672.

The joint initiative in Saundersfoot was so successful that the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority was encouraged by the access officer to buy six more.
Two will be based at P.I.P.P.A (Physically Impaired People of Pembrokeshire Association) in Haverfordwest and can be booked in advance by calling 01437 760999.
Two will be based at Whitesands Bay, St Davids and two have yet to be alocated to a beach.

For further information about Pembrokeshire's beach wheelchairs please contact Alan Hunt 01437 775148.
