Ocean Cure is a Carolina Beach nonprofit that runs adaptive surf programs and charity surf camps each summer for children and adults with disabilities and life challenges. Trained volunteers and instructors support participants in the water, and the group provides free beach wheelchairs and beach-access mats. Its focus is ocean accessibility and adaptive surfing rather than a conventional multi-week day camp.

★★★★★Deric PrivetteThis organization is amazing. I have a 70+ year old aunt who hasn't been to the beach in over 30 years and actually been on the beach. I reached out later in the evening to enquire about using one of the beach wheel chairs. Kevin was very accommodating and met us at our rental on the beach. I appreciate Kevin and this organization and would highly recommend reaching out to them if you have someone who is unable yo physically get to the beach and you want to give them that experience. It is a donation based organization. Each chair has a QR code on it for you to make a donation. There is no donation too small or big in order to see the joy of my aunt as she rolled onto the beach and flew her kite for the first time in 60+ years.
★★★★★Pam SkipperThis organization is such a wonderful part of our community! Kevin Murphy is such a caring person and an inspiration to all! Ocean Cure changes lives, makes so many individuals have exciting experiences!! Not enough space to write everything! 😎
★★★★★Leasa DupreeOur family was so thankful to Oceancure for providing, at NO CHARGE, a Beach Wheelchair for my son’s girlfriend. This allowed them to enjoy beach time with the rest of our family. The wheelchair was delivered and picked up! This is a wonderful service. Thank you, Oceancure!
★★★★★Adam BannoThis organization is absolutely amazing! The things they do for the disabled is unmatched! They also donate their time to other organizations to give care and uplifting opportunities through stand up paddle boarding. The Ocean Cure crew is simply amazing! I love that they try their hardest too to make the beach accessible to EVERYONE!
★★★★★Gregorio RoblesI’ve been participating with them every year for the past 5 years. Being a Wounded Warrior dealing with some physical and emotional issues is awesome to be with this amazing group of guys. I forget everything and enjoy every moment. Also seeing all of the effort and care that they do to lay down mats and maintain them so that those with physical disabilities can ride their wheel chairs down to the beach is incredible. They also take part in taking people with disabilities out surfing. What more can you ask for from an amazing organization that goes above and beyond. Love this group. Go by and say hi. Just talking with them will help you see things in a different way. Keep up the outstanding work. Can’t wait to see you all again.
