Accessible Beaches

Accessible Beaches Williamstown and Altona Beach - Hobsons Bay City Council

Beach wheelchairs are available every day over the summer break (except Christmas day). Book in a chair now!

Hobsons Bay features two of the most accessible beaches in Australia. With support from Williamstown Swimming and Life Saving Club, Altona Life Saving Club and local traders, we have delivered the Accessible Beaches program since 2015-16. Over the years the program has expanded to provide year-round access to beach matting and free hire of beach wheelchairs to more than 150 community members. 

IMPORTANT:
  • WATER QUALITY: Beaches are closed and wheelchairs are not available for hire when the water quality is deemed too unsafe to swim in. Check the EPA Beach Report
