Application no-entry exemption for beach entrances for disabled persons
General
At most beach entrances, a no-entry regulation applies to motorised vehicles. Within the municipality of Schagen, disabled persons may qualify for an exemption to this rule on presentation of a valid disabled person's parking card or a comparable European card. This exemption means that disabled persons also have access to the beach. They can apply for an exemption for the beach entrances 15 in Sint Maartenszee and 17 in Petten.
An exemption for passenger transport may also be requested on behalf of a disabled person. For example: by a family member. This exemption may only be used in conjunction with the disabled card and in the presence of the card holder.
How to apply for exemption
You can apply for either a temporary or a long-term exemption. The temporary exemption is valid for up to one month. Apply for a temporary exemption in the form of a day, week or one-month card by calling us on (0224) 210 400.
If you would like to go to the beach regularly, it is possible to apply for an exemption for more than one month. You should do this online.
Medical certificate
If you do not have a disabled person's parking card, you can apply for exemption for beach entrance number 15 in Sint Maartenszee if you have a medical certificate.
The medical certificate is only valid until 3 months after the date of issue.
Maximum validity period for exemption
The exemption will be linked to the validity period of your disabled person's parking card. A disabled person's parking card is issued for a maximum of 5 years.
An exemption based on a medical certificate is issued for a maximum of 1 year.
Processing time
You can make an appointment to collect a day, week or one-month card at the Town Hall or at one of our support points. Of course, you must present your valid disabled person's parking card or medical certificate.
For an exemption of longer than one month, you must apply to us online. The municipality then decides on your application within 8 weeks.
