Accessible Beaches

A person with a disability being pushed along the sand in a beach wheelchair. Everyone is smiling.


In partnership with Life Saving Victoria and a number of local Life Saving Clubs, we deliver accessible beaches at six locations along the Great Ocean Road during peak season.  

We are proud to offer a range of accessible equipment and facilities including hoists, beach wheelchairs, Liberty Swing, parking and beach matting so that people of all abilities can enjoy accessible beaches from Torquay to Port Campbell. 

Some equipment and facilities are currently available at Fishermans Beach in Torquay, Anglesea Riverbank, Point Roadknight, Lorne Beach, Apollo Bay and Port Campbell. 

Access matting will be installed from early January to mid-April at each location.

The beach wheelchairs are available for free for up 2 hours per booking to ensure greater access to all potential hirers. 

Please be aware that the beach wheelchair doesn’t fit into disabled toilets due to extra wide wheels. 

Fishermans Beach in Torquay is not a patrolled beach therefore it is not recommended to swim at this location, however the beach wheelchair is ideal for enjoying on the beach.  

For swimming and entry to the water we recommend visiting the beach during patrol times. Patrol times and locations can be found at the Beachsafe website.
