Hendaye was one of the first French towns to offer water access for people with reduced mobility.

Every summer, it offers the services of a handiplage (level 3) at 2 sites:

Guests are welcomed by municipal staff. Users must be accompanied, especially when swimming.

The TIRALO wheelchair rolls easily over sand and loose or uneven ground.
The principle of traction, using a large handle, facilitates locomotion.
