Beach Accessibility

Accessible routes onto the beach

Massachusetts DCR lists accessible beach mats at access points 6, 31, 33, and 37. Mats improve access across soft sand, but tides, weather, maintenance, and shifting sand can affect conditions. The mat may not extend all the way to the water.

Sand and floating beach wheelchairs

DCR reports two sand chairs and two floating chairs at Revere Beach. They are free, first-come, and intended for use with a companion who can assist the rider.

Availability and staffing are seasonal. Before making a special trip, contact MassParks at 617-626-1250 or [email protected]. Read DCR’s beach-wheelchair guidance.

Getting here without a car

The MBTA Blue Line serves Wonderland, Revere Beach, and Beachmont stations. Station accessibility and elevator status can change, so check the MBTA before leaving.

Parking and drop-off planning

Accessible spaces, temporary restrictions, and event-day traffic can affect the closest approach to the beach. Review the current parking guide and obey posted signs. For a passenger drop-off, choose a legal stopping area that does not block a travel lane, bus stop, crosswalk, curb ramp, or emergency access.

• Bring a companion if you plan to use a sand or floating chair.
• Allow extra time during festivals, hot weekends, and holiday periods.
