Sunny Isles Beach Offers Handicapped Beach Access

The Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into law by the first president Bush in the early 1990s, was intended to assure that public facilities were accessible on an equal basis to Americans with disabling conditions. Unfortunately, implementation of the law has been both slow and spotty, with the result that beaches in some cities are still very difficult for people in wheelchairs to reach.

Not so in Sunny Isles Beach, a Florida resort city often hailed as "Florida's Riviera. The city offers beach access for wheelchair bound residents and visitors at no fewer than 14 separate locations, making vacation homes in Sunny Isles Beach one of the best possible choices for tourists with mobility issues.

Sunny Isles Beach is also noted for its clean water campaign that strives to keep beach quality high. The city quite rightly points out that both people living in the city and visiting it want to swim in an ocean free of chemicals and other pollutants. Rainwater falling in this region of Florida drains into Biscayne Bay as well as the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. In order to help keep all these bodies of water pristine for the many visitors who enjoy them summer and winter, Sunny Isles Beach encourages residents to avoid littering and using harsh chemicals on their lawns.

The practice results in a decided benefit to wildlife as well; the Sunny Isles Beach coast is home to not just many varieties of fish but also to endangered sea turtles and manatees.
