A beach accessible to the disabled in Haifa - making the way to the sea accessible

Special access routes, intended for the use of disabled people in wheelchairs, were placed at "Zamir" beach in Haifa and "Naot" beach in Kiryat Chaim

The Municipality of Haifa has prepared an accessible route in the northern part of "Zamir" beach, which allows the disabled, who use wheelchairs, to reach the water line.

Access to the sea is made possible through a unique plastic sheet, made of a strong material and able to bear a lot of weight, which can be used without the need for assistance. In this way, the sheet allows the person using it to be completely independent, without any dependence on another person. Nevertheless, the lifeguard team at all beaches is at the disposal of the general public, and in particular at the disposal of people with disabilities, for the purpose of supervision during entry into the sea, while bathing and when leaving the sea.

This morning (Sunday, 12/08/18) the people of the beach department of the Haifa municipality began an experimental placement of another sheet at "Naot" beach in Kiryat Haim.

Another measure that has recently started to be implemented at "Zamir" beach to help people with disabilities, is a special marking, which is done under some of the permanent pergolas that exist on the beach. The new marking, which is done similarly to the way parking spaces reserved for the disabled are marked and is accompanied by appropriate signage, gives the right of way for use by people with disabilities and is intended to ensure the existence of shaded places on the beach for people with disabilities.

In the meantime, we are currently in the advanced planning stages of a procedure to establish a toilet and cloakroom structure for people with disabilities, which will be located separately from the existing toilet and cloakroom buildings adapted for the disabled and separated for women and men. In this way, the new building will allow a person with a disability to enter together with an escort, whether the escort is a man or a woman.

Zamir Beach Haifa is one of the most accessible beaches in the country for people with disabilities. At the beach, there are various means of assistance intended for people with disabilities, such as: a parking lot reserved in the part adjacent to the boardwalk for disabled vehicles, a sloping slope that allows wheelchair users easy access to the beach, special wheelchairs in which the disabled can be safely transported into the sea, restrooms and changing rooms adapted for people with disabilities as well as special picnic tables, specially adapted for people sitting in wheelchairs.
