The wheelchair is located in the wooden Bay Inspectors hut which is adjacent to the Lifeguard station on the promenade.
The Bay Inspector on this beach also looks after West Bay. We advise pre-booking for both St Mildreds and West Bay so the Bay Inspector can be on hand to assist you. There will be contact numbers displayed on both bays if the Bay Inspector is not present when you arrive.
