About

Public Beach Finder

Features
Read full description

Find the coast. Know before you go. Public Beach Finder is a purpose-built guide to documented public saltwater beaches across the United States. It brings the practical details for a beach day into one clear, coastal interface designed for iPhone and iPad. EXPLORE PUBLIC SALTWATER BEACHES Search and browse 8,424 public-beach records: 8,416 rights-cleared records assembled from official federal and state inventories plus eight deeply curated beach profiles. View beaches on a map, filter the directory, save favorites, sort nearby beaches on your device, and open turn-by-turn directions in Apple Maps. CHECK THE DETAILS THAT MATTER See published information for hours, parking, dog access, lifeguards, accessibility, amenities, water quality, and local rules. Coverage labels and verification dates make it clear when a detail has been locally reviewed and when the app only has a broader official record. PLAN AROUND THE COAST At supported locations, review National Weather Service conditions and alerts plus NOAA high- and low-tide predictions. Weather and tides are planning aids, not safety guarantees. FOLLOW THE SOURCE Public Beach Finder preserves official-source context and provides public registries for state programs, dog-rule research, and New England town or managing-authority pages. Details can change; posted signs, closures, lifeguards, emergency officials, and the managing authority always control. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No advertising. No cross-app tracking. Favorites, filters, searches, and nearest-beach sorting stay on your device. Numeric ratings and factual correction suggestions are moderated before they can affect public information. Public Beach Finder includes a bundled offline catalog for first launch and refreshes from a service operated by Peter Goodale under the Goodale Studios publishing brand when a connection is available.
