Riding the waves on a Goa beach just became doable for disabled holidayers at the ongoing #BeachFest2017. The fest, which runs till April 9, was put together by UMOJA, an online travel platform for 'people with accessibility needs'. The festival has shown that beach holidays for wheelchair users can be more than just staring at the ocean from a distance.
