People with disabilities and holidays

Exemption beach entrance

If you have difficulty walking or are disabled, you can, after showing your disability pass or doctor's certificate, obtain a chip for the barrier to be able to go to the beach of Petten or Sint Maartenszee by car. For more information, please contact the municipality of Schagen: +31 224 210 400.

Beach wheelchair

There are many places where you can borrow a beach wheelchair. These are special wheelchairs with pneumatic tires with which you can easily drive in the (soft) sand.

Holiday by the sea for wheelchair users

If you want to book a holiday by the sea and are wheelchair-bound, you can book a wheelchair holiday by the sea at GREAT-Vakantiehuizen.  We have a number of adapted holiday homes that are partially wheelchair accessible. These (partially) adapted accommodations are suitable for a wonderful stay on the North Sea coast. Our GREAT tip: Bungalow Zeewaard 5 & Zeewaard 18.

Is a wheelchair-friendly holiday home not enough?

Sometimes, a wheelchair-friendly holiday home is not enough and care is needed. There are, also in the Netherlands, a number of care institutions that can also provide care during holidays. This is very nice if you are physically limited and need care at your holiday address. You can request the addresses of these healthcare institutions from, for example, your health insurer.

Care outlet De Betue

Do you need any care or aids on holiday? Please contact Care outlet De Betue. Care outlet De Betue rents out almost all care and aids.  You can go here for, among other things, the rental of a wheelchair, mobility scooter or duo bike. It is also possible to have all the necessary tools delivered to your holiday address.
