China Beach Accessibility

Accessible Features

Designated Accessible Parking

Usable Restroom Facility

Usable Picnic Area

Beach Wheelchairs are available to check out upon request, click here for reservations.

Upon Arrival:

As you arrive at the China Beach parking lot you will find two designated accessible parking spaces. The parking lot sits above the beach. Visitors are not allowed to drive past the entry gates; doing so would encroach on the space needed to launch the National Park Service rescue boats.

Inside the Park:

Beyond the parking lot there is a paved road leading down to the beach. Due to the existing terrain, this paved road is extremely steep. Please proceed with caution. There is a usable restroom facility and a usable picnic area. There is a steep paved boat ramp that leads to the beach. Beach wheelchairs are available up request, click here for reservations.
