Let's talk about Beachy!!

You see all of us love to go to the beach;have a swim, sunbathe, play beach-volley, or just relax!

Today, there are many apps that help you find the place or how to get there but what we're missing is an easy and quick way to find out information of the overall condition of the beach we want to go.

For example, let's say you are a tourist and drive in a beach to have a swim. You arrived to find out the beach is filled with sunbeds, there is garbage in and out the sea and it feels a little windy. After a splash, you end up sunburned, with a bee sting and ready to go to the hospital.

With our app you cannot only see where to go, but when and why. In order to collect the best information about water quality we install special sensors that measures PH, salinity, dissolved ions and bacteria. Weather stations and NASA, provide us the most accurate data about the UV level at this specific site, this specific moment. We also give you the power to rate and rank beaches. With just a single click you could view and compare all the sea sites near you. And, choose the healthiest!

Remember! Beachy! Because a day under the sun is not only about the fun!
