The Beach and Coast Accessibility Program will be facilitated by Orange County Coastkeeper in partnership with the Coastal Conservancy to provide grants to federally recognized tribes, nonprofits, and agencies for beach wheelchairs, beach accessibility mats, and other equipment to increase accessibility to California’s beaches and coast in coastal counties statewide.

This project will expand the already successful Conservancy beach wheelchair program to include other low-tech solutions to improve coastal accessibility for people with disabilities and all others who may benefit from increased access.

These solutions could include equipment such as roll-out walkways, specially engineered kayak paddles for ease of use for people with limited mobility, and other solutions for access to beaches and the coast. The program will be available for projects involving water-adjacent areas statewide, on or near the coast, including but not limited to beaches, lakes, rivers, and bays.
