under the hot sun.
In some of the resorts where the beach is
expansive (think Wildwood and Wildwood Crest), there is usually a tram service provided to the elderly and disabled. A phone call to the local beach patrol headquarters is all it takes to arrange for a beach transport down to the water’s edge.
Surf chairs are also available in most resorts. For this information and other resources available to individuals with disabilities or mobility challenges looking to enjoy the beaches, you can refer to the Beach Accessibility guides available in Atlantic and Cape May Counties. Both guides offer information about accessible amenities, such as ramps, mats, beach wheelchairs, restrooms, parking lots and more.

If beaching for you includes hanging ten, most municipalities have designated surfing beaches. Boogie boarding is allowed on all beaches.
No matter where you choose to beach or how you plan to spend your day beaching, remember a few of these pearls of wisdom that locals abide by:
• Know when high tide is so you don’t have to keep moving your stuff.
• Swim only at beaches protected by lifeguards. • Never, ever feed the seagulls.
• Leave behind only your footprints in the sand. l
