Problems
There are no year round accessible beaches where wheelchair users can take their dogs to play in the water.
The beach on Diemerpark does not have an accessible path near the water, and the beach is prohibited for dogs from 1 April to 1 October.
The IJburg beach on Strandeiland has an accessible path near the water, but the beach is prohibited for dogs from 1 April to 1 October.
The beach across from the DekaMarkt is the only beach that people using wheelchairs can take their dogs to the beach year round. Unfortunately, the only place that is wheelchair accessible is 50 meters away from the water at the entrance and much too far to play with dogs in the water.
Solutions
It would be really nice if there was an area at the beach on Strandeiland that is near the accessible path allowed dogs year round.
If that is not possible on Strandeiland it would be nice to have a path to the water at the beach across from the DekaMarkt. Unfortunately, we have heard that the beach across from the DekaMarkt is temporary, so this might not be possible.
