Not in a marine reserve on our map

Not inside a marine reserve on our map — still tread lightly. Checked against our marine-protected-area map.

In season near here

Likely around this coast this month, from Ocean Highways — coarsened. Possible, never promised.
No non-sensitive in-season species mapped near here yet — possible, never promised. Nothing invented.

⚠️
Water & safety: We don't have an official feed or a recent satellite pass here — treat this as unknown, not safe. · algal-bloom proxy: No recent ocean-colour pass. We can't tell you whether it's safe to get in, call the currents, or vouch for marine life — mind the local flags/lifeguard and your own limits. This panel is informational; it never makes a safety call.

Beachfront eat & drink

Venue names free from OpenStreetMap (ODbL). Photos, hours & booking come from a licensed provider — a later phase, credited then.
No mapped beachfront venues here yet (OpenStreetMap) — nothing invented.

PR#2 live-data slice. Sunset Score & Sun & Tan are modeled forecasts — labeled, not promises or medical advice — served from a daily governed cache (no per-view fetch). Conditions: Conditions & sky: Open-Meteo (modeled, CC-BY 4.0) · Aerosol: Copernicus CAMS · Wildlife: Ocean Highways (MiCO CC-BY / OBIS / GBIF / IUCN) · Protected areas: ProtectedSeas · Inventory: OSM (ODbL) / Wikidata (CC0) · Live cams: link-outs (Windy Webcams + verified aggregators) — never embedded or restreamed. Local times are shown in each beach’s own timezone (IANA tz lookup). Tides are real hi/lo predictions (CO-OPS sensor / Open-Meteo FES2014-based, modeled). Beach orientation + open-water-sunset derived from the GSHHG coastline. Hero photo (where shown): free CC, Wikimedia Commons — credited; illustrated otherwise, never faked. Live cam, restaurant photos, sign-in, comments, check-ins and busy-ness arrive in later phases — shown as "pending", never guessed. Nothing stored in your browser.
