A couple of years ago, I put together a list of accessible beaches along the central east coast of the U.S.. I was pleased to find that there were beach wheelchairs available in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. Many beaches also had accessible restrooms, and some had even installed mobi-mats for easy access to the ocean.

This year, I went through to update the list and was pleased to find incredible progress in the realm of beach accessibility. I’m not sure how many of the beaches were newly accessible versus how many had finally been added to websites, but I added almost 20 new accessible beaches! Wahoo!

Here are some great finds that are new this year!
