NAVARRE BEACH, Fla. (WEAR) — Navarre Beach will no longer be wheelchair accessible.

Last spring, Santa Rosa County invested over $8,000 to install mobi-mats.

The mats ran almost to the water's edge with places for wheelchairs to turn off and park along the beach.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection are now calling the mats an "environmental violation."

They add the county didn't seek approval to install the mats.

Subsequently, the mats have now been removed.

I suspect we will be hearing from Governor DeSantis in the next few days after he has had a chance to phone a few bureaucrats.

At one of our beaches, there are a couple of similar big-tire handicapped chairs availble for use free courtesy of the county.

Just wrote the Florida Governor. If a lot of people hammer him, it will get action.

Well, hell. Let’s just make all nature areas wheelchair accessible.

If they want to be near the water, they can use boat ramps......having trouble imagining why one would want to take his wheelchair into a corrosive/hostile environment.

Last time I went to the beach, down in San Diego, I really had no way to get to the water.

If I ever get down there again, this will be very useful.

I was just there a couple of days for my son’s graduation from Marine boot camp.

Too bad I’m not smart, or I could have looked that up in advance.
