The API that answers: "should I go to the beach today?"

Real-time water quality grades, ocean conditions, and full beach data for 34,000+ beaches across 103 countries — the US, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Turkey, Portugal, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Mexico, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Panama, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru, New Zealand, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and more. Built for developers who want reliable coastal data without the scraping headache.

THE PROBLEM

Coastal data is fragmented across NOAA buoys, state water quality programs, tide stations, and county health advisories — each with different APIs, formats, and auth schemes. Anyone building a travel app, real estate tool, outdoor recreation product, or local weather service has to scrape and stitch together multiple sources.

Beach Day API solves this by aggregating all of it into one clean REST API. One curl call, one JSON response, one answer.
