Overview
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!
