C.R.A.B. BEACH WHEELCHAIR PROGRAM

WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS FOR THE 2023 SEASON

C.R.A.B. is a 501(c)(3) Registered Charity

WE WILL NO LONGER BE OFFERING OUR DAILY BEACH WHEELCHAIR DELIVERY/PICK-UP SERVICE.

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO KEEP A CHAIR OVERNIGHT OR LONGER WE MAY STILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR NEEDS.

THE 2018 SEASON WAS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SEASON FOR OUR BEACH WHEELCHAIR PROGRAM. OUR CHAIRS WERE IN USE FROM MAY UNTIL EARLY NOVEMBER LAST YEAR! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED OUR BEACH WHEELCHAIR PROGRAM. PLEASE CONSIDER CONTRIBUTING TO OUR PROGRAM SO WE MAY CONTINUE TO OFFER THIS POPULAR AND VALUABLE SERVICE IN THE FUTURE.

Our "fleet" of 8 now includes a reclining chair and our newest chairs can be disassembled and will fit in an SUV or the trunk and back seat of some cars!

NEW for 2018...We now offer BEACH WALKERS . If you have some difficulty getting onto the sand but don't need a wheelchair a beach walker may work for you. Contact us for more information
