 Can I go to the beach as an amputee with a prosthetic leg? Yes, absolutely, but it is going to require some extra precautions. As you know, sand gets absolutely everywhere, and this is really a problem when you have a metal leg that seals onto you. When I'm done at the beach, I have to make sure that I'm cleaning out all the parts and pieces of my leg, making sure there isn't sand in a valve or in my foot shell causing wear and tear. Additionally, walking on sand can cause a lot of grinding in my leg. It can be pretty uncomfortable because of the uneven surface, so I'm going to look for that hard-packed sand, as most of us do anyways, as soon as possible. Also, I can technically go in the ocean, I can go in the water, but it is such a nightmare to try to clean out all of the sand and gunk that gets into it that I honestly just opt not to. I love going to the beach as an amputee with my prosthetic leg, I just choose to enjoy it from the sand and not the water.
