What's New in Beach Buddy App

4.1.3

August 22, 2026

Fixed a bug that was affecting water temp and fish activity accuracy. NEW: MARINE LIFE WATCH The ocean changes from place to place—and so does the marine life you may encounter. Beach Buddy’s new Marine Life Watch feature provides location- and season-aware guidance about marine animals that may be present near the beach you’re visiting and what to do if you encounter them. Depending on the location and season, you may find guidance about: • Stingrays and when to use the stingray shuffle • Jellyfish, bluebottles, and other stingers • Sharks and periods of increased coastal activity • Reef life and sensitive marine habitats • Marine mammals and other regional wildlife • Simple precautions and responsible ways to react to wildlife encounters Marine Life Watch complements Protect This Beach, which provides conservation guidance for wildlife, nesting areas, and sensitive coastal habitats. Together, these features help answer two important questions: What marine life should I be aware of? And how can I enjoy this beach responsibly? Beach Buddy also brings together weather, tides, surf, marine conditions, beach flags, hazards, shark activity, rules, amenities, cameras, local discovery, and more. Different beaches. Different wildlife. Different seasons. Know before you go—and know what shares the water with you.
