According to the Associated Press, Dade County also spent $1,700 to buy two "beach wheelchairs" and is planning to spend an additional $30,000 to build special parking spaces that are closer to the beach. Fred Shotz, a disabled man who was interviewed while wearing no clothes, told the AP that he was "really pleased that it's here, obviously."
An Inclusive Litany
4/3/95
Dade County, Florida, installed an $18,500 ramp to make it easier for
disabled people to bathe in the nude on the half-mile
"clothing-optional" strip of Haulover Beach. Activists demanded the
ramp after the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act
and, under the law, county officials had to comply.
