Beach fun for everyone

Wheelchair users have easy access to the popular beach Østerstrand in Fredericia. There is parking right by the beach, and the whole area including parking, beach, toilets and the beach bar are in one level. At the beach you will find Havfruefløjterne, which is a spiral-shaped bathing facility in the water, especially designed so that blind and visually impaired can safely bathe within the ropes. The facility may be used by anyone who feels more comfortable here.
Østerstrand is a Blue Flag beach and has handicap toilets.
You can also borrow a special ocean wheelchair, in which you can access the shallow waters via a ramp.
