I have a 5 year old daughter who is wheelchair bound ... she loves the beach but we struggle in her wheelchair

It would be amazing if we could rent a wheelchair on the beach.


ANSWER:

Hi Noor there are now beach wheelchairs at Scarborough. Have a look at the details on this page.

I hope you and your daughter have lots of fun on the beach :)
