I am taking my 87 year old slow walker mother-in-law to Honolulu, and she’d really like to enjoy the beach. Do you know of any place on Oahu that has loaner beach wheelchairs?

There are a number of places on Oahu where you can get a loaner beach wheelchair. I’ve listed them below, along with their contact details. As you know, things can change over time, so for the most updated information contact the Honolulu Parks Department at (808) 768-3027. Have a great trip!
