"Our accessible beach break trip was AMAZING and everything we could have possibly hoped for. Our tour guide, John, was the BEST and so accommodating and kind to my mom. For example, when our original beach did not have a public restroom, he went out of his way to make arrangements for us to go to another beach.
My mom had not been to a beach in 5 years and had the best time for her 50th birthday! Thank you for everything you do, more people need to know about this!!!"
