Miami Beach is not wheelchair accessible . Miami Beach is over 10 miles long , you have to pay between $ 3 and $ 10 an hour to park your car , but there is no wheelchair access to the ocean . There are only two places where you can rent beach chairs for wheelchair users , but no guide will help you into the water . Manual chairs require the assistance of another person , but my wife wasn ' t strong enough to help me on the sand . You can rent an electric beach chair to go by yourself on the beach without assistance , but there is only one and it was broken . So , I couldn ' t go into the ocean , and I didn ' t see my children playing in the water , because all barrier-free paths end at the beginning of the beach . John Morris , founder of Wheelchair Travel , also talks about this in his blog .
The Everglades are very easy to get to by car . Of course , the national park and the alligators could not be missing in our trip . We also spent a day in Fort Lauderdale and looked for the luxury villas and yachts . The city is best explored by the water . The well-known water taxi was unfortunately not possible for me , but www . junglequeen . com was barrier-free . Then we drove to Hollywood Beach , but there was the same problem for me on the beach as in Miami .
" I travel a lot and have been dependent on a wheelchair for a long time and actually thought that Miami would be optimally handicapped-friendly , but I was taught otherwise . That spoiled the holiday mood a bit . However , the warmth did me good and it was an unforgettable journey for us ." ~ Werner Rosenberger , Austria
