The information is organized by municipalities, which are grouped by river basin districts for the continental territory (North, Centre, Tagus and West, Alentejo and Algarve), and by islands, in the case of Madeira and the Azores.

It should be noted that, of the 171 coastal beaches and 44 river beaches that this year are part of the Program, almost 90% already provide an important added value: amphibious equipment suitable for bathing and/or walking on the beach of people with mobility limitations, often with assistance service.

In a year in which the main focus was on consolidating the offer of accessibility and support provided to people with restricted mobility, the INR congratulates the municipalities of the bathing areas awarded for their renewed investment in this important Programme, which, with increased quality year after year, undoubtedly improves the response to the specific needs of all visitors to these leisure spaces, making them increasingly inclusive, safe and attractive.
