A North Carolina coastal town is set to unveil its first beach access fully set up for people with disabilities.
Officials in Kill Devil Hills say the grand opening and dedication ceremony is set for Monday morning.
Improvements to the beach access include a wooden ramp as well as several fixed position mats and roll out mats to accommodate wheelchair entry onto the beach. The new wooden ramp was built to give wheelchairs a quick and easier path from the parking lot to the beach.
The town has also purchased three additional beach wheelchairs for anyone to borrow and enjoy the water line.
The improvements honor former town Commissioner William "Bill" M. Pitt for his community involvement and devotion.
