WMTW-TV8 • August 6, 2021

Helping everyone enjoy the beach during a Maine summer. That's the goal of a new mat installed this week on Mother's Beach in Kennebunk. Made of a woven polyester, the reusable "Mobi-Mat" sits on firmer sand and allows those with mobility challenges an easier way to go from the parking lot to the beach. "It's an accessible mat so it's obviously geared toward strollers, wheelchairs, anything that we can do to get people onto the beach and much more accessible manner which is really we're looking forward this is a very family friendly beach." said town engineer Chris Osterrieder.
