Most miami beach access points are completely useless for wheelchairs despite what the city claims. 13th street has the only properly maintained beach wheelchair ramp that actually reaches the water.

Ramp is concrete, not those useless wooden boards that sink in sand. Beach wheelchairs available for free rental at the lifeguard station. Bathrooms at 13th street are also actually accessible with working door buttons.

Avoid 21st street - the 'accessible' path ends 50 feet from water in soft sand. 5th street ramp is too steep and poorly maintained.
