Assisted bathing service for people with reduced mobility begins in Marbella beaches

The City Council has launched an assisted bathing service for people with limited mobility for this season, an initiative that will take place throughout the summer at the beaches of the municipality and aims to ensure access to the sea in conditions of safety, comfort, and dignity. The service, managed by the lifesaving and lifeguard concessionaire company, includes amphibious chairs, adapted crutches, and the attention of lifeguards specialized in this type of assistance. To access the service, it is necessary to request it at least 24 hours in advance by calling 658 61 83 33 or contacting the Beaches office.

The schedule varies depending on the month and, in this regard, in June and September it is available from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, while in July and August it is extended until 8:00 PM, thus ensuring extended care throughout the day. Additionally, as in previous years, specific attention has been set up for residents of the Seniors center, who can enjoy the service every Tuesday at Alicate Beach. This measure, implemented at the request of the center itself, reaffirms the municipal commitment to social inclusion and universal accessibility in the coastal environment during the months of highest influx.

The municipality has nine adapted beaches (San Pedro Alcántara, Puerto Banús, Nagüeles, El Cable, Fontanilla, Faro, Bajadilla, Cabopino, and Nueva Andalucía), with conditioned accesses, shaded areas, and accessible toilets and showers. In the last four, there is complete equipment for assisted bathing, thus expanding the possibilities of use for people with limited mobility. With this action, the City Council continues to move towards a more accessible, inclusive city model that respects the rights of all people, promoting the enjoyment of the coast on equal terms.
