STRANDJUTTER
The Strandjutter (Beachcomber) is a wheelchair that allows a person with reduced mobility to be pushed through the soft sand to the water line.
During the opening hours of the rescue service, the Strandjutter will be lent out for FREE upon presentation of an identity card at the Albertstrand first aid post at Zwaluwenlaan and the first first aid post at Lichttorenplein. You can consult the opening hours here.
During July/August, a Strandjutter is also available for FREE from the sports beach in Heist.
