• Beach Access Equipment Hire Form

  • The Beach Access project is run by the North Beach Residents Association (NBRA), a voluntary organisation, with support in summer months from North Beach Surf Life Saving Club.

    The project includes options for users to hire for free:

    • THREE beach wheelchairs (one child sized and two adult sized)
    • Beach wheels (swap for standard wheels on manual wheelchairs)

    A beach accessibility mat and hoist are also available for use.  All the equipment is stored in a container in the carpark of the North Beach Surf Club, Marine Parade, Christchurch.

    Other facilities at North Beach: there are two mobility carparks, two mobility public toilets, a public changing room and a cold shower on the beachside of the Surf Club.  

    Lifeguard patrols are provided from mid-November through to mid-March (Saturdays from 1pm – 5pm and Sundays 10am – 5pm) and Monday to Friday in the summer school holidays.  The beach access mat will be put out for public use during these hours.

    For more advice about how to use the beach wheelchairs or access mat please contact beach access email north.beach.accessibility@gmail.com
