Outdoor Mobility
Schedule a beach wheelchair or electric all-terrain chair for your next visit to the Tillamook Coast
If mobility issues are keeping you from enjoying our beaches, we can help. There are beach wheelchairs available for use in several popular towns and parks on the Tillamook Coast: Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, Pacific City, Nehalem Bay State Park, Cape Lookout State Park, and Barview Jetty County Campground. There are also three electric all-terrain chairs – the David’s Chair – available in Manzanita, Netarts and Pacific City.
