The Long Beach Wheel Way, which is located in Long Beach, MS between Steve’s Marina and Simpson Pier on the west side of the Long Beach Harbor, was made available through a legacy fund sponsored by the Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport.
In August 2018, the Junior Auxiliary of Gulfport provided funding for the handicap beach access from Highway 90 to the water for individuals constrained to wheelchairs. The Wheel Way, as it has come to be known, provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to access the beach in a safe and comfortable way.
