Lymington accessible launch site information
Lymington launch site is located Lymington Quay Hill, Lymington SO41 3AT
The car park has several accessible parking spaces and parking is free if you have a blue badge. From the car park to the accessible toilet and onto the slip way is approximately 60m and barrier free.
The accessible toilet is opened using a radar key. The room is larger than a normal accessible toilet and the toilet and sink are in good condition. However it does not have a shower, bench or chair to help with changing.
The slip way is gently sloping and well maintained. The water is tidal (only 1-2m) and leads into lymington harbour. The harbour can get busy so be observant when launching and paddling.
