In May and June 2014 Accessible Travel Netherlands contributed to the organization of days at the beach for Dutch people that are physically challenged. Accessible Travel Netherlands made sure plenty of beach wheelchairs were available for everyone.
The beach days were an initiative of Nationale Vereniging De Zonnebloem. Accessible Travel Netherlands assisted them with the organization.
The participants were able to choose from a variety of beach wheelchairs and offroad wheelchairs including: the Hippocampe, the Jutter and the Wombat. With these chairs, the people could go on the beach and ride through the water.
The 3 beach days took place at Zandvoort beach and at the beach of Hoek van Holland.
