You can enjoy the water in many ways at Massachusetts state parks, beaches, and pools. Pools have lifts and ramps to get you into the water. Beaches have boardwalks and beach mats to get you out onto the sand. Beach wheelchairs with balloon tires can move you across the sand, and floating beach wheelchairs get you into the water itself. After you find an accessible beach or pool in the list below, please check with the beach or pool to learn about parking costs, hours of operation, and the availability of beach chairs and beach mat.
