Most people who visit Florida have a visit to the beach on their “must do” list. And with good reason! Florida beaches are some of the most beautiful in the whole country. However, trying to find information on the accessibility of Florida beaches can be a herculean task. In some places, the county’s parks and recreation department is responsible for maintaining this information (and the beaches), and in others it’s up to the individual city.
In this post, I have attempted to compile the most comprehensive list anywhere of accessible beaches in Florida, organized by coastal county. This will be a living post, as accessible amenities like access mats are being continuously added. If you have information about beach access in Florida that you don’t see here, please contact me so I can include it.
Whenever possible, I have included amenities useful for wheelchair users (when available) with the following codes:
- BW Beach wheelchair (for rent or loan)
- MM Mobimat or other synthetic sand mat
- WB Wooden boardwalk with sand access
- AR Accessible restrooms
Also, if there is a link to the county or city’s information on beach access, I will hyperlink to it.
