| Mother’s Beach is a small swimming beach on the interior of the marina where there is no surf. The main attraction is a wheelchair-accessible ramp that runs right into the water. You can borrow a beach wheelchair from the lifeguards if you want to avoid getting saltwater on your own. The ramp is about 33 inches wide and 150 feet long. The handrail is made of two-by-ten boards. Depending on the tide, the far end of the ramp will be a few inches or a few feet underwater.
Mother’s Beach has picnic tables on pavement next to metal stands for portable barbecues. A concession stand and a soft drink machine are north of the restroom building. At the south end of the beach near Panay Way there’s a play structure with an accessible rubber surface at the swings and the slide.
Parking/Restrooms
There are blue spaces in the lot at Panay Way, and in the lot off Admiralty Way. Restrooms have three-foot-wide stalls with grab bars mounted too high, and the flush valve is hard to reach. There are spacious changing areas in the restrooms.
