Shadow Cliffs offers wheelchair accessible parking, trails, picnic tables and restrooms. A wheelchair accessible fishing pier is located near the boat launch and can be reached by paved trail. The bathhouse is also accessible to wheelchair users.

Beach wheelchairs, intended to provide a means for wheelchair users to travel across the beach, are available for free, on a first-come, first-served basis. They require an assistant to push and are not intended to enter the water. To arrange for use of a chair, call the Shadow Cliffs lifeguards at (925) 484-1986. A staff member will bring the chair out to the beach. It takes approximately 15 minutes to prepare the chair. Staff will give a brief orientation to the chair and arrange a time for the chair to be returned.
