I am a Local Guide.

I like to help people, that’s why I start with local guides. I think I can get closer to everyone. I like to share my experience, they be good or bad. I like the sincerity, if I don’t like something or it doesn’t seem right I say it.

My brother moves by wheelchair, that makes going to the beach or moving around many places, too many, will be difficult or impossible. You don’t know the realize about these things until you live this situation. I want to take this opportunity to propose to put an emoticon of accessibility, like a wheelchair. To be able to assess if the places are suitable or not suitable for wheelchair access. See an emoticon with the shape of a wheelchair on the map would be very convenient and quick for those who need this type of information.

There are beaches dedicated to wheelchair access, but when you go you realize that access is still difficult and are not 100% adapted.

I thing this kind of things we need to share.

I hope to continue helping people, wherever I go

It is amazing to see what the love of your brother and finding resources for him has led you to do with Google Maps. What are some of your favorite accessible beaches in the world?

@JordanSB I only try to go to the beach with him in Catalonia. In Costa Daurada. There you can find some “accessibility” beaches but really they don’t. He need one or two persons for help him to go to sand or take a bath. It’s really difficult.
