Accessible Beach Experience on Terschelling
Terschelling boasts one of the widest beaches in Europe – and everyone should be able to enjoy it. To make the beach accessible for people with physical disabilities, several local businesses have acquired special beach wheelchairs. These allow you to move effortlessly across the sand and fully enjoy the beach, sea, and wind.
