Jenness State Beach in Rye: An Accessible Beach Day

Jenness Beach in Rye is a local favorite, a pretty stretch of sand popular with families and surfers, with that laid-back coastal feel and classic Seacoast views. Like all of our beaches, the one obstacle for anyone with limited mobility is the soft sand between the street and the water. A beach wheelchair clears that hurdle and lets a loved one join the family right down by the waves.

Oceans Mobility rents beach wheelchairs for Rye and the Seacoast.

Getting onto the sand

A regular wheelchair stalls in dry sand, but a beach wheelchair with balloon tires floats across it and rolls down to the packed sand near the water. One person can push it easily. See how beach wheelchairs work, and bring a pull-behind wagon to haul the chairs and coolers in one trip.

Plan around the parking

Jenness has more limited, metered parking along the road, so plan to arrive early on summer days, and having a beach wheelchair ready means the walk from a farther spot is no problem. A rollator with a seat helps for the walk from the car for someone who can walk but needs rests.
