A fundraising campaign has been launched to help make the beach at Sidmouth more accessible to visitors using mobility aids or pushchairs. The Chit Rocks Beach project aims to install an access ramp at the Chit Rocks area of the beach, located between Jacobs’ Ladder and the Esplanade. The ramp would be a permanent fixture and will allow visitors to get right down to the sea front.

Speaking about the project, materials released by the organisers say: “Imagine being unable to feel the sand, play on the beach and swim in the sea. Chit Rocks Beach Ramp' project is in place to allow access for all onto our wonderful sandy beach and natural rock pools.”

With fundraising events and support and donations coming in from local community groups, it is hoped that the ramp can become a reality in the near future.
