Wild Swimming Hidden Beaches: Explore Britain's Secret Coast In this spectacular and practical guide Daniel Start, author of Wild Swimming, charts Britain’s 400 most beautiful secret beaches, describing the best places to swim, walk and explore, containing all the content from the best-selling book ‘Hidden Beaches’ (Wild Things Publishing, 2014, £16.99). Britain has some of the most amazing coastline in the world, and it is more accessible than ever before, yet many of its beaches remain hidden. These little slices of peace and paradise welcome the intrepid adventurer and those in the know. So why not set out to discover our shell-white sands and blue lagoons, hidden smugglers’ coves and sea grottoes sparkling with coralline. Find a campsite on the beach and cook up supper on the sands, or seek out the best local seafood at welcoming inns. This app combines inspirational photos, engaging writing and practical information to make a truly original travel guide. NOTE: due to the large number of images and places the app is slow to load first time and may not work well (or crash) if many other apps are open in parallel. Please close other apps. You will find preloaded maps, photos, directions and travel writing to inspire and inform. Most locations comes with stunning photography and include detailed 1:25,000 mapping. There is contact information for nearby pubs, campsites and attractions. If you need inspiration you can browse the app by slideshow, list, photo gallery and on an interactive map. Ask the app to find places close to you, or search using postcode, address, star rating, walk-in time, keywords or other features. You can share places on email and Facebook and save favourites too.

Bli med på oppdagelsesferd i Øyriket i Stavanger og i Ryfylke. Oppdag spennende steder som er utpekt av andre brukere av appen, eller del dine egne perler! Det mest besøkte stedet vinner en premie. Du kan dele en av dine perler i Øyriket med oss og andre ved å spille inn en kort film, laste opp filmen under og velge et punkt på kartet hvor andre kan besøke perlen du har filmet. Når andre tar i bruk Øyriket-appen, får de se alle perlene på kartet og kan dra på besøk rundt om i Øyriket med deg som lokal guide. I oktober vil vi kåre den best likte perlen og premiere bidragsyterne på øya der perlen ligger. Begynn med å lage filmen. Velg deretter sted på kartet under, last opp filmen og skriv en tittel og en liten tekst slik at folk vet hva de kan forvente når de går på tur til din perle. Lykke til!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Oppdag at Free against Hidden Beaches's $3.99. Oppdag also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
