I have no idea to be honest airohs lol, though id like to find know as well!

I'm not sure if you know this already but Wasaga Beach has been made wheelchair accessible not too long ago! It's a really great place so if you haven't been there, you should! It's not too far from you either

Joe

It's good that you can use your crutches cbdives. Maybe in your case it's good that it requires you to do some walking. A bit of exercise will always pay off

Here in Australia, we have ramps on most beaches, which is a good start. But the beaches themselves are usually not super accessible unless you have a team of people to help you get there :/ On a brighter note, I found this super interesting article here such lovely beaches, and other beaches should definitely follow suit (no pun intended haha)

That's awesome MarchOn, definitely better than here haha! I haven't found any truly accessible beach here either. Still need to get people to help out here as well.

DJ,You're from Canada, right? I think there is an accessible beach resort in Ontario that I have read about once... Here found it don't know if its still in operation as its been a while since I've heard about it so correct me if I'm wrong. But what cannot be doubted is that accessibly in general needs improving :/

Yes I am and yeah that's Wasaga beach, the only one that I know of that is accessible. I was actually supposed to go to a music festival there yesterday but ended up going to one in Toronto instead. However I did go last year, it's a beautiful spot! I don't recall if there was a path that went right to the water though.

Nice! How was the music festival? What sort of music was it?

Glad to hear you had such a good experience with the resort!

It was lots of fun! We had great warm sunny weather so no complaints haha. It's EDM (electronic dance music)
