About Wheels In The Sand - We are a locally owned company that saw the need to offer more solutions to get visitors with mobility issues access to our beautiful beaches. We rent beach wheelchairs, beach walkers, floating beach wheelchairs, and motorized beach wheelchairs in the Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, and Cape San Blas, Florida area. What prompted us to rent mobility equipment? Well, not too l

ong ago we went out of state to attend a family reunion being held at a rented beach house. Our mom had recently suffered a stroke and lost function in her left arm and leg, our dad is a partial leg amputee. We had to look for options to get them out on the beach to spend more time with the family. We were glad to find a local company that rented beach wheelchairs to help us get them on the beach. When we got back home to PSJ we wondered what we would do when our parents came to visit us and thought about buying a beach wheelchair to keep at the house. That thought morphed into the idea of opening a mobility equipment rental company for our beach visitors, but like most great ideas it got put on the back burner. One day while we were in the parking lot of a local store we saw a van from another town delivering a beach wheelchair and that revived our idea to have a local option for beach wheelchairs, beach walkers, and floating beach wheelchairs rentals so off we went putting all of this together. We are a proud family owned business and hope you will consider us when looking for a beach mobility solution for you and your loved ones. Sincerely,

Paul and Tammy

Howdy friends! This is a bit of a long one, so please bear with us...

We need a small favor from those of you who have been so kind as to rent our mobility products while visiting the Forgotten Coast.

When you have a moment, we would love for you to email us about the specific accessibility challenges you faced at your vacation rental home. Along with the challenge, what simple solution would you recommend? (Ideally, solutions that don't require major construction!)

For example: One guest mentioned a door threshold so high their daily wheelchair couldn't clear it. Their clever, temporary solution was backing their van up and using its ramp to get inside.

Because of real-world feedback like that, we now carry small portable ramps on our van that when requested we provide free of charge when dropping off your beach mobility equipment. Whether someone relies on a chair every day, is recovering from surgery, or has temporary stability balance issues, these small fixes make a huge difference.

What’s the Big Plan?
We are creating a "Mobility-Friendly Rental Property List" page on our website!

Once we consolidate your feedback, we will share these common challenges with local vacation property owners to see which homes already have smart solutions in place. While 99.9% of vacation homes aren't strictly "ADA compliant," many have wonderful features that make traveling easier, such as:

Low or zero-entry showers

Stability grab bars in bathrooms

Portable shower/potty chairs

Low entry door thresholds

Doorways that are 32 to 36 inches wide

Single-story layouts

Multi-story homes with an elevator, lift, or access ramp

Multi-story homes with a bedroom and bathroom on the main floor

Direct beach access with no steps, or nearby flat public access points

Everyone’s mobility needs are different. A home doesn't have to be perfect—just having one or two of these features is a massive win. Even if a property's only feature is a step-free boardwalk to the sand, that’s a huge plus in our book!

Over the years, our conversations with you have led us to offer free entry ramps, a free child booster seat, and low-cost standard wheelchairs and walkers so you don't have to haul them on a plane or in a packed car.

Our goal is simply to make your next stay on the coast safer, easier, and more enjoyable by providing this free community resource.

Please email your experiences to us at [email protected].

Warmest regards,
PnT

Hey friends and family! 🌊

We have some exciting news to share! We’ve just added another motorized beach wheelchair to our inventory. We are thrilled to be able to help even more people experience the beach without limits. The design is a little different from our other motorized chairs so keep that in mind when deciding which one to rent.

We’re working on getting it added to the website over the next several days, so keep an eye out for it as a new rental option very soon!

What a fantastic turnout for "Punch on the Porch!"

The Discover Mexico Beach, FL team hosted 70 neighbors and visitors who stopped by to talk all things Mexico Beach. From the latest tourism updates to great giveaway items from local merchants, it was the perfect way to celebrate the magic of our coastal area. We really appreciated the space we had to show off our beach mobility products and opportunity to bring additional awareness about our services to our visitors. We had the motorized beach wheelchair, regular beach wheelchair, floating beach wheelchair, and beach rollator out on display for all to see.

A huge thank you to the Discover Mexico Beach team for putting on such a great event. See you folks next year! 🏖️💙

Hello Friends. We wanted to let you know we have added a second Beach Rollator to our fleet, and you can even use a small beach umbrella with these rollators. Too much to pack in the car or to bulky for the plane, we also added a Regular Rollator for you to use around town or the rental house.

Hi everyone. After a few requests from our customers that brought their own regular wheelchairs or rented one of ours, we have added portable ramps to our inventory. These ramps are free of charge, all we ask is that once you arrive at your rental house is that you determine which ramp you need. Call us and let us know if you need the ramp that covers a 1 to 2 inch threshold or the ramp that can cover a 2 to 6 inch threshold. We have one of the 1 to 2 inch ramp and two of the 2 to 6 inch ramps. Thanks for your continued support.
