Only a small investment of time and money by Parks Canada would make this beach accessible
Dalvay Beach, located east of Stanhope in the PEI National Park, is one of the better beaches on PEI for people with walking disabilities. It could be improved with a little blue paint and painting effort and the construction of a ramp.
The beach is close to the highway with some roadside parking but not designated disabled parking. Get a can of blue paint boys. The walk to the beach is a slight incline and only needs a ramp to bypass the 7 steps at the beach for someone in a wheelchair. That means a 100 foot ramp at a gentle grade. This shouldn’t cost more than $10,000, which is considerably less than the $500,000 spent to build the wrong wheelchair ramp at Brackley Beach.
