4th Ave. beach - Mobi-Mat accessible

You are at the 4th Avenue beach entrance, stop #39 on the Belmar Treasure Trail. We’re stopping here to point out that Belmar is committed to making sure our beach is accessible to everyone, even those with limited mobility. In the summer months, all our beach entrances have Mobi-Mats. They are synthetic mats that make the sand underneath feel hard as concrete, so it enables people who use wheelchairs and walkers to reach the water’s edge without worry. While the mats are put down to benefit those with disabilities, they also make life a lot easier for moms and dads with strollers and beach wagons, or anyone who wants an easier walk on the sand! This beach is also used in the summer for a popular surfing school. You’ll see as you continue down the boardwalk that the beach itself becomes progressively narrower the further south you walk. This is a result of the interaction of wind, waves and currents.
