16th Annual Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities

The 16th Annual Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities will be held at Spanish River Park, 3001 North Ocean Blvd. (A1A), Boca Raton on March 15 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Presented by the American Disabilities Foundation (ADF), the Bash returns to Boca Raton’s Spanish River Park, which is conveniently located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway to give guests easy access to the beach and free boat rides.
Always a highlight are the free boat rides, safely held by volunteer boat captains who donate their vessels for a day of fun. On the other side of the park, special Mobi-Mats are rolled out on the sand, making the beach accessible to guests in wheelchairs. YMCA’s water safety team and physical therapists will be on-hand to give everyone access to the water and other recreational activities on the beach.
Designed as a Spring Break vacation for all people with disabilities, their family members and supportive caregivers, the Bash has welcomed guests from around the world. It is the only event of its kind, offering complimentary, scheduled boat rides, special access to the beach and ocean with Mobi-Mats, a Kids Fun Zone, therapy workshops led by trained specialists, wheelchair yoga, music, costumed dance parties, therapy ponies and dogs, a BBQ lunch, and more. Everything is free and geared toward the guests’ special needs.
The 16th Annual Boating & Beach Bash for People with Disabilities is generously supported by The City of Boca Raton, celebrating 100 years of rich history and vibrant culture in 2025; Rotary Club Downtown Boca Raton; Coldwell Banker Realty Cxsares Foundation; Collective Impact Group; and Soroptimist International of Boca Raton.
