The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. In the City of Rehoboth Beach, we strive to create a welcoming community for people of all abilities. Below, find information about our transition plan and the ways that we’re making the city more inclusive for residents and visitors. Also, use the tabs below to submit an ADA accommodation or complaint.

ADA Transition Plan

Under Title II of the ADA, municipalities that employ 50 or more people must undertake an ADA self-evaluation and create a transition plan to make accommodations for people with disabilities.

The City of Rehoboth Beach has contracted with JMT to begin developing its transition plan. The initial focus will be on how effectively the city’s pedestrian network in public areas complies with ADA requirements. Pedestrian facilities to be assessed, in order to determine any barriers that may impede access for individuals with disabilities, include sidewalks and curb ramps

Beach Accessiblity

Rehoboth Beach utilizes polyester mesh mats, or mobi mats, to aid with accessibility at our dune crossings. Utilized during the summer season, the mats make it easier for those in wheelchairs and others with mobility issues to access the beach. Additional mats are used to enhance access at Maryland Avenue and Laurel Street.

Wheelchairs designed for the beach are available for free on a first-come, first-served basis from the Rehoboth Beach Patrol in season. Reservations are not accepted. Beach wheelchairs are available at beach shacks located at Maryland Avenue and Laurel Street.

Wheelchairs are available from 10 am-5 pm daily during the season. Contact the beach patrol at 302-227-2280 for additional sign-out information.

Accessibility around the city

All of our public restrooms facilities are accessible.

The Commissioners Room, located at the 2nd floor of City Hall, is equipped with touch-free automatic doors. This room can be reached by elevators across from the Convention Center.
