## Newest reviews (4 of 21)

### 5/5 — Very detailed, accurate, useful

*2018-12-14, version 1.0*

A much needed app, simply & exclusively pinpointing coastal access locations for the user

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2018-12-13, version 1.0*

Just saw that this app was available on the 1:00 #KTLA channel news!  I love the beach and every summer i drive up the PCH and this will come in handy!!!

### 5/5 — A Beautiful Addition to A Beautiful State!

*2018-12-13, version 1.0*

Wonderful App, truly magical way to see the hidden beauty in this Golden State!  Excellent !! 5 STAR!!

### 5/5 — Great resource. Easy to use-clean design. A very useful app with a back story!

*2018-12-13, version 1.0*

A great gift to those of us who visit the State and love to explore California beaches.

### 1/5 — Crashes near Malibu

*2023-07-08, version 1.1*

When you click through into an access point to see details, this works fine in most places but crashes the app on Malibu access points.

### 1/5 — Waste of Taxpayers Dollars

*2018-12-14, version 1.0*

Should be called “How To Get Poison Oak”

Hard to use. Uninteresting. All this info was already in public domain.

You never appreciate a prince until you kiss a few frogs. That’s how it goes for exploring beaches as well. 

Just another way for a rich white guy to avoid the consequences of his actions.

Post photos? How about one of Sean Parker bending California over.

### 1/5 — Very Glitchy

*2018-12-13, version 1.0*

App crashes constantly.

### 2/5 — Fees?

*2018-12-15, version 1.0*

This looks nice and I’m glad to have it, but the FEES category could use some explanation. The one beach I go to is listed as having fees, which is untrue if you are just going to hang out with your chair and friends.

### 3/5 — Points not showing

*2018-12-13, version 1.0*

I see the map but nothing on it?

### 4/5 — Nice! But about those dogs...

*2018-12-15, version 1.0*

I’m using an iPhone Xr and have had no issues with glitches or crashes.

The app is pretty great for exploring the beaches and nearby areas, however, I do have one strong suggestion.

Right now you can filter for “dog friendly”, but that’s pretty vague. I suggest that single filter be changed to three separate filters:

 - Dogs Prohibited;
 - Dogs Allowed On Leash, and;
 - Dogs Allowed Off Leash.

This would be a very positive addition and much appreciated!

### 4/5 — Needs satellite imagery base map

*2018-12-14, version 1.0*

Awesome application. However, please add satellite imagery as an optional base map layer.

### 5/5 — Love the coast!

*2020-07-01, version 1.1*

Great app, very useful.

### 5/5 — Great idea to fully enjoy the amazing Cali Coast!

*2019-05-01, version 1.1*

This app is a fabulous idea!! We moved recently from the east coast and as I find beach suggestions for us and our dog I try saving them to my google maps but it’s slow going. Now we can find them on-the-road as needed as we explore our new home state...and there are so many choices to enjoy!!! Thank you the making experiencing Cali even more fulfilling 👏

### 5/5 — Fantastic work!

*2019-01-11, version 1.1*

We'll done. Fantastic to have. IT was very responsive to a couple bugs I found... Great work!!!

### 5/5 — Great app for coastal explorers!

*2018-12-20*

All of California's beaches are legally accessible by the public below the mean high tide line, despite the fact that rich homeowners constantly try to bend the law (I'm looking at you, Hollister Ranch and David Geffen). For the first time, this neat little (10MB!!) app gathers all the coast access points in one place. It's easy to use and a delight to navigate.

It's worth also downloading the excellent Our Malibu Beaches app, which has been around for a couple of years, if you're an LA area resident or visitor, but this is another GREAT addition to your phone. Get out there and enjoy what's rightfully yours...use this app and explore the unparalleled beauty of California's coast!

### 5/5 — Dog Owners Rejoice

*2018-12-16, version 1.0*

Finally a quick guide where you can discover where your furbaby can join you on your adventures!

### 5/5 — Love Our Beaches

*2018-12-15, version 1.0*

For folks like me whose lifestyle is filled with work and busy family life this app is a great way to help my family explore more of our wonderful beaches. Using this app my family is at a new beach for us enjoying the brisk winter air and wonderful surrounding. Thanks...

### 5/5 — Great app. Great story.

*2018-12-15, version 1.0*

Love everything about this little app. Very clean and easy to use. Good information for people looking for a place to go to the beach. Love the way that this app came to be. Kudos to Sean Parker and California!

### 5/5 — Win win

*2018-12-15, version 1.0*

I was cheered to read about this in the paper, especially these days.  It seems like this was a great solution to the problem, appropriate restitution that will increase awareness of and access to the coast. The app has worked great for me so far.

### 5/5 — EV Charging?

*2018-12-15, version 1.0*

Thank you for this. Could you please also include info on which access points have EV chargers? The data is on PlugShare.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-12-14, version 1.0*

Kudos to the CCC for hammering out a deal for this app! And to Parker for being receptive to the need for an app like this. And to the developers for hanging in there to get it done right.
