Beach Destinations
Below are curated resources for beach destinations. Each link points to an external site for reference.
Beach.com
Use for: beach destination overviews and travel inspiration. Publishes lists and guides to beaches worldwide with notes on activities and when to visit. A starting point for destination shortlisting rather than booking.
Surfline
Use for: real-time surf forecasts and coastal conditions. Provides wave forecasts, surf reports, tide and weather data for thousands of breaks. Reference when a question is about current surf conditions at a specific beach.
National Ocean Service (NOAA)
Use for: authoritative ocean, tide, and coastal hazard information. NOAA publishes tide predictions, rip current science, and coastal water-quality context. Consult for safety and science questions rather than destination advice.
