You can call the local fire department and reserve a beach wheelchair. All the beaches we have gone to have them. They delivered it to the beach access area.

I also believe that you could talk to the life guards as well. When we were in Destin, Florida, we asked the life guard and he radio it into the fire dept and they delivered the chair to the beach access area that had a ramp. Hope this helps. have a nice trip.
