Accessibility at Texas SandFest

Accessible Parking

Accessible parking is available for vehicles displaying a current, valid state-issued accessible placard or license plate.

  • Location: On the beach inside the bollards at Marker 12.5, near the North entrance of SandFest.

  • Details: Spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. No spots may be held or reserved.

For best access, arrive early, as availability can fill quickly during peak times.

Accessible Toilets

Accessible portable toilets are available throughout the event grounds. They are located at the north entrance, near the music stage, and at the south entrance.

Personal Mobility Devices (Guest-Owned Wheelchairs and Motorized Scooters)

Motorized scooters and wheelchairs are permitted at SandFest. However, most standard models perform poorly in sand. We strongly recommend using a beach wheelchair (see below) for improved mobility on the beach.

Beach Wheelchairs

A limited number of beach wheelchairs are available for free use to help guests navigate the sand. These are non-motorized and require someone in your group to push them.

Key Details

  • Usage time: 1 hour and 45 minutes per reservation/use.

  • Weight capacity: 250 pounds (maximum; includes occupant and any items carried).

  • Reservation: Highly recommended to guarantee availability. Only one reservation per person is allowed for the entire event. Attempts to bypass the system may result in cancellation.

  • How to reserve: Use the Reserve Now link at the bottom of this page.

  • Without reservation: Check availability at the Guest Relations Tent (North gate entrance, near beach marker 12.5). No guarantees without a reservation.

Pickup and Requirements

  • Pick up at the Guest Relations Tent (North gate entrance, near beach marker 12.5).

  • Arrive at least 15 minutes before your reserved time. Late arrival will not extend your usage period.

  • Required at pickup:

    • $20 cash deposit (fully refunded upon on-time return with no damage).

    • A current driver's license from someone in your group (held as collateral and returned upon drop-off).

    • Completed and signed beach wheelchair usage agreement.

Important Notes

  • Texas SandFest provides beach wheelchairs similar to standard all-terrain models with large wheels for sand (example pictured below).

  • We are not responsible for injury, damage, or loss related to use. Users assume responsibility for safe operation.

  • Return the wheelchair to the guest relations tent at the north gate, on time and in good condition, to receive your deposit and license back.
