Nova Icarian Beach Barcelona

From www.barcelona.cat: Nova Icaria Beach has an area for disabled persons that includes a bathing support service. This service is intended for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility, and its purpose is to help them in and out of the water so they can enjoy bathing in the sea, using, if necessary, an amphibious chair. This area features a wooden walkway that reach the water as close as possible (although, under no circumstances will they ever touch the water, as its currents could detach the module), an adapted changing room, a shower with a chair and a crane lift. All this makes it much easier to reach the water. The service is supported by volunteers, who, together with the accompanying persons, help users to move from the wheelchair to the amphibious chair, using the crane lift if necessary. All in all, the volunteers provide assistance when users of this service approach, enter and leave the water and also accompany them while they are bathing. These services only operate when the green flag is displayed on the beach, indicating that it is safe to swim.
