Handiplage Larvotto 2026 Season Opens in Monaco

The 2026 season of the Handiplage site at Larvotto Beach in Monaco was officially inaugurated on Thursday, 2 July 2026. The initiative is promoted by the Principality’s Government as part of its ongoing policies supporting inclusion and assistance for people with disabilities.

Active for more than twenty years thanks to the initiative of the Soroptimist Club and now coordinated by the Directorate of Social Welfare and Assistance, the Handiplage service ensures safe, comfortable, and autonomous access to the sea for both assisted and independent users with disabilities.
