Mobility Issues - looking for a beach

[Gma&Gpa]

DH has mobility issues.  He uses a scooter on the ship, but he can walk short distances.  What would our options be so he could get to a beach or someplace besides the port shops?  The scooter he rents does not collapse, so he cannot put it into a trunk of a taxi to transport it.

How good is the scooter's battery life?

Because the walk to Great Bay is about 20 minutes each way, so you could consider going by road.  Many people do actually walk it.  When there, The Broadwalk backing onto the beach, plus the areas around Front Street are quite flat.  So a getting a Sun Bed on the beach could be doable.

Something to think about?

Thanks - that's good to know.  These scooters have a pretty good battery life.  He charges overnight - and goes all day long on the ship.  I appreciate the info.

The last time we went my wife was in a mobility scooter and it was just a short walk from the pier to the entrance to the boardwalk and the we went to Lazy Lizard on the beach which was  a great spot. After that we went down the boardwalk for a while then cut over to Front Street for our way back. It was very interesting and an easy ride for a scooter and those walking.

Looks like Great Bay is the way to go.   Great to know we can get there by walking (and scooter).  While he can walk a little - he certainly can't walk the distance of the ship itself, or the pier.  So, catching a taxi is just not reasonable for us.  Thanks to both of you for your responses.
