" Na stronie internetowej było napisane, że można wypożyczyć wózek inwalidzki, którym można jeździć po plaży. Na miejscu okazało się, że nie dostaniemy wózka, nie bo nie, wg pani czasami nie wydają tych wózków z powodu pogody. Nie było deszczu więc nie wiem jaka pogoda jest potrzebna, aby dostać wózek. Nie było też informacji na stronie internetowej, że jest możliwość, iż wózek nie będzie wydany, było napisane tylko, że od 9 do 21 jest otwarte, wszystko zamykali o 6. Powinni poprawić informacje. Chwalą się, że są najlepiej przystosowaną plażą dla niepełnosprawnych, jakbym wiedział, że tak to będzie wyglądało to wybrał bym inną plażę. Najwyraźniej z powodu braku słońca postanowili zamknąć wcześniej, przykre, że nie poinformowali nikogo. Ktoś, kto specjalnie wybrał tę plaże może być rozczarowany."
