Help us build a more accessible facility!

Ferry Beach has made it a priority to make sure that all of our guests can have a safe, and accessible stay when they are here. Over the years we have made numerous improvements to our buildings to allow for everyone to come and enjoy Ferry Beach. The renovations to the John Cross Cottage allowed us to create 4 accessible sleeping rooms, and with our new accessible boardwalk, everyone can enjoy the beach.  We still have many trouble spots around campus that need to be addressed.  We are looking for your support to help make Ferry Beach safe and friendly to those with mobility issues.
