Accessable beaches in Bermuda?

[ZellaLamb]

We are headed out soon for our first trip to Bermuda on RCCI. Does anyone have experience with using scooters there? (not the kind that everyone talks about being a problem on the wrong side of the road, but mobility scooters). We would love to go to the beach and I would love to get a tour of the island.

There are a number of taxi companies and tour companies that can handle wheel chairs and power chairs. Would think they could handle a mobility scooter. Google to find them or write the local tourism office.

 

Sand and mobility scooters do not go well togeather.

 

I recommend a tour of at least 5 hours with your mobility scooter. Start at the ship and go all the way to St. George's then take they ferry back to the ship.

There is a beach we went to very near the cruise ship dock. U can ride the scooter to it on the paved sidewalk or path but as others have stated can't use it on the sand. If u can walk at all or use a cane u could make it work once u have ridden scooter there. There are tables & benches available.

I just got back from Bermuda on the Celebrity Summit. I had a rental scooter and had no problem disembarking the ship in Dock Harbor. I even found a handicapped tour that accomatted the scooter,it was wonderful.

Thanks for the information! Anyone else have any advice?

You have to have a beach wheelchair to actually access any beach. A scooter or regular wheelchair will get stuck. When you get on the ship, see if any of RCI's beach tours offer beach wheelchairs. I know they do on their private islands.
