Apple Watch

The watch app is for quick beach decisions, not long browsing.

BeachFinder on Apple Watch keeps the important beach signals glanceable: closest spot, swim status, water and air temperature, wind, waves, and favorite alerts.

Nearest spots

Open the watch and compare nearby swim spots without pulling out the phone.

Swim and surf alerts

Favorite alerts keep the thresholds that matter most visible at wrist level.

Watch-face glance

Complications can surface the selected beach, water, waves and air signals during the day.

Safety stays local.

The watch app is a planning shortcut. Always follow local flags, lifeguards, closures and official advisories before swimming.

Coming later

This page can grow into the BeachFinder toolbox.

The next tools should stay useful and sober: practical planning utilities, partner distribution helpers and share formats that point back to real beach pages.

Planned

Share cards

Clean cards for hotels, tourism offices and social posts, generated from real BeachFinder spot data.

Next

Partner kits

Ready-made copy, logos and install notes for WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace and local publishers.

Draft

Data notes

Clear documentation for what BeachFinder signals mean, where they come from and how partners should present safety limits.

The tools should help people decide, not just decorate a page.

BeachFinder tools are built around useful signals: distance, photos, water temperature, wind, UV, waves, amenities and nearby alternatives. They should always remain planning aids, with local flags and official advisories as the authority for safety.
