Ocean Cure is a local 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to giving FREE surf lessons to medically fragile and at risk youth and adults. We at Ocean Cure believe very strongly in the powerful, emotional, and physical healing properties of the ocean and surfing. During our charity surf camps, our highly qualified instructors guide participants through their fear and apprehension around an activ

ity that they otherwise thought impossible. Through surfing they are empowered to feel that there is no obstacle that they can not overcome. The waves extend beyond the personal experience and extend to the family members to build a positive relationship and common bond with families who are sharing the same experiences. Ocean Cure is also dedicated to preserving our ocean environment through activism and education. 90 Days to Earth Day is a program we pioneered, which encourages kids to pick up trash along our water ways. This is in the hopes that keeping our beautiful oceans clean not only becomes a habit, but a way of life!

It's officially time to do a grand opening or should we say grand reopening?!

Ocean Cure and Odysea Surf School didn't have a ribbon cutting when they first opened their doors. It's never too late, especially when you are celebrating 20 years in AND a brand new program at the surf school!

Join us to what they have been up to and let's celebrate the good vibes they bring to our community!

Sweet Luna faced her fear of the water to stand right by her owner as he caught wave after wave. This was a deeply sentimental moment, as it marked his first time back in the water since his accident—making her courage and loyalty all the more powerful, and every wave that much more meaningful.

A little more STOKE from Wheel to Surf in Folly Beach this past weekend. The joy that adaptive surfing brings to everyone involved is truly unmatched. Looking through these photos, you can see the excitement everywhere and it’s a powerful reminder of how lucky we are to be part of this community.

On the heals of our accessibility beach mat post we want to make sure everyone is aware of the beach accessibility devices available on the island. The Carolina Beach Parks and Recreation has beach wheelchairs like the pink one available for pick up at the rec. center. They have about eight so they do get reserved fast. These chairs have a fixed front wheel and are NOT meant to go in the ocean. Ocean Cure also has 6 of these chairs available and we are happy to deliver and pick up. Ocean Cure also has 8 beach walkers available for deliver and pick up. We also have 30 beach wheelchairs that can go into the ocean and even float. These chairs have yellow arms a pivoting front wheel and are the best beach wheelchair on the market. The good news all of these are 100% FREE to use. Reservations can be made through www.ocean-cure.org and through the CB Parks and Rec dept. https://www.carolinabeach.gov/203/Beach-Wheelchairs

Happy Monday, Ocean Cure family! The sun is shining and we’re looking forward to some warmer weather this week. Let’s kick things off with something to make you smile—our mascot, Harvey. He stays right by Dad’s side and proudly oversees wheelchair maintenance duty.

Show Harvey some love and let him know what a good boy he is! 🐾 ☀️

Dredging is complete and we are excited to start getting our beach mats out. We spent a beautiful rainy day making Alabama Ave more accessible. That’s the Southern most border of CB just before you get to KB. We also laid out the mat in front of the Courtyard by Marriott Carolina Beach Oceanfront. This is specifically located on the southernmost part of the boardwalk. We will get the large mat out ASAP behind the Ferris Wheel directly in front of the beach stage.
