Key Largo, Florida - specialized wheelchair underwater experiences

key largo fl beach

 

The beach is accessible via ramps and wooden walkways. However, one of the strong appeals to this area for disabled travelers is the ability to go snorkeling and diving. A few local companies specialize in outfitting wheelchair users for underwater experiences. Boats feature lifts for easy transfer on and off, making this a great, safe way to explore the underwater sea life.

Florida state statutes require all licensed lodging facilities to provide at least 5% of the guest rooms with certain handicapped accessible criteria. Features vary depending on your selected hotel/resort.

They do not yet, however, provide beach wheelchairs, accessible docks or "swimming rigs" which allow disability visitors to swim freely and safely in the water.
