The Town of Ocean City offers access to the beach for the physically challenged through the Beach Wheelchair Program overseen by the Mayor's Advisory Committee on the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Access to the beach for the physically challenged is provided at certain locations along the beach and is designated by a blue sign on street entrances along Coastal Highway. Beach chairs are provided on the beach at certain locations by the Town of Ocean City from Memorial Day through Labor Day, from 10 am to 5 pm daily. When using one of the beach chairs, it must be used within two blocks (one north and south) of where the chair is assigned and kept. Beach chairs are available on a first-come, first-serve basis from the attending beach patrol and must be returned by 5 p.m. This may not be a complete listing. Beach chair locations are subject to change pending availability.
