Beach Wheelchairs

The City of Cape May in conjunction with the Cape May Beach Patrol, provides inflatable-tire beach surf wheelchairs to our patrons with disabilities at no charge. These chairs are located in boxes along the beachfront, available for use between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Reservations are not accepted, and there is no guarantee of availability due to the limited number of chairs. Please see your lifeguard for assistance in borrowing a chair.  Borrowers must sign out chairs.  Borrowers assume responsibility for chairs while under their use. Surf chairs must remain on the beach at all times. Surf chairs may be brought to the water’s edge but may not enter the water. 

WE HAVE MORE BOXES THAN BEACH WHEELCHAIRS than chairs so please call 609-884-9520 ahead of time to ensure we have a beach wheelchair available at the entrance you plan to go to.
