RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. — The Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency continues to make the waterfront more accessible to all who live, work and play in the city.
The agency will be introducing new MobiChair and MobiMats at the Marina Village on Saturday.
The MobiMats, leading from the sidewalk to the beach, will allow those who have mobility challenges to access the beach area easily.
The MobiChair is a wheelchair that floats and provides a seamless transition from boardwalk-to-beach-to water, allowing access to everyone.
The MobiChair and MobiMats will be introduced to the public at Marina Bash 2021 on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. in Riviera Beach.
