ΑCCESSIBLE BEACHES 2022

ACCESSIBLE BEACHES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL
ACCESS NEEDS

The Deputy Ministry of Tourism, within the framework of its efforts to upgrade Cyprus beaches,
is an active supporter of issues related to accessibility. It has listed so far 55 beaches for people
with special access needs, including 38 fully accessible and 17 partially accessible.

FULLY ACCESSIBLE BEACHES
The following 38 beaches have full access to the beach, as the wheelchair user is able to get
from the beach into the sea moving on a wooden or plastic ramp. There is also availability of
hygiene facilities and parking places for disabled persons.
It is worth mentioning that on 7 of these beaches there is an innovative system Seatrac* that
enables disabled people to have a full access to the sea. It is an automatic system powered by
photovoltaic energy, consisting of a seat fixed in a rail that drives the disabled person into the
sea at an approximate depth of 60cm.
A number of 36 beaches have Floating Wheelchairs** that can be easily moved on the sand and
float in the water thanks to their floating armrests and wheels.
Seatrac and Floating Wheelchairs are available for use by the public free of charge and relevant
information may be obtained by the lifeguards on the beaches
