Lived experience of using assistive technology for sandy beach based leisure for Australian people with mobility limitations.

People with mobility limitations require Beach assistive technology (AT) to facilitate beach leisure, social participation and to establish their identity as beachgoers.People with mobility limitations who plan to use Beach AT should be prepared to overcome pragmatic challenges related to size, storage, and propulsion, and should have realistic expectations about the level of independence that can be achieved.Successful use of Beach AT may involve ingenuity through adaptations such as selecting appropriate times for beach activities as well as making physical adjustments to AT devices.Access to Beach AT is an important consideration for improving participation in leisure activities for people with mobility limitations. This is possible through both personal ownership and/or loaning AT.
