Official Insider Advice

I can help you find exactly what you're looking for!

Check out:

  • Society for Accessible Travel and Hospitality, or SATH (561-451-0052), provides recommendations for travel agents and other resources to help travelers with disabilities plan their vacations.
  • Able Trust (850-224-4493) offers helpful links to disability resources throughout the state from Florida’s Governor’s Alliance for the Employment of Citizens with Disabilities.
  • Florida Disabled Outdoors Association provides resources on disabled outdoor travel in Florida.
  • VISIT FLORIDA’s disabilities page offers lots of great articles, blogs and links.
  •  Florid-able is a VISIT FLORIDA article with tons more info.
  • You probably know regular wheelchairs are hopeless on the beach. However, many Florida beaches offer complimentary use of beach wheelchairs (wheelchairs with the big balloon tires that actually roll through the sand). You can look at the visitors’ services website of whatever destination you choose to find out what they offer. If you call the visitor’s services, they are usually a great help in knowing what exactly is available. 

Let me know if you need more help.
