Accessibility

  • Reservations must be made well in advance due to a very limited number of available chairs. 
  • The borrower is responsible for picking up the chair and returning it.
  • Beach wheelchairs can also be rented from local equipment rental companies. Call Nags Head Fire Rescue at 252.441.5909 to reserve a chair or for a list of rental companies.
