Beach Accessibility
At Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Surf Life Saving Club, we want everyone to enjoy our beautiful beach. Accessible bathrooms and paved pathways provide improved access to the beach, while beach access mats are installed at the beginning of the patrol season, usually over the October long weekend, and remain in place until the end of the season, generally after Easter.
Beach wheelchairs are also available for use when the beach is patrolled by volunteer lifesavers or lifeguards, helping make a day at the beach accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
