Cottesloe Beach wheelchair collection

Cott's sand doesn't have to be off limits if a standard wheelchair can't manage it. The Town provides purpose-built Sandcruiser and Surf N Turf beach wheelchairs free of charge during the warmer months. Book before you come, collect the chair at beach level beneath Indiana, and make the sand and shoreline part of the day.

Meet the Cottesloe SLSC lifeguard at the beach-level shed beneath Indiana. Follow the collection directions supplied with your confirmed booking. The pin marks a nearby promenade arrival point, not a confirmed collection door.

Two styles of beach wheelchair are available: the Sandcruiser for travelling across soft sand and the Surf N Turf, designed for beach access and use at the water's edge. Both are available free of charge through the Town's seasonal booking service.

Book ahead and check the available dates and collection times before planning your visit. Collection is from the Cottesloe Surf Life Saving Club beach-access shed beneath Indiana, where the lifeguard can provide the booked chair. The equipment guidance recommends two carers and specifies a maximum user weight of 120 kg.

Accessible toilets and changing facilities are also located beneath Indiana, close to the collection point. Beach and ocean conditions still matter, so decide how far onto the sand or towards the water to go based on the conditions and the needs of the person using the chair.
