The coast of Spain, Portugal and Italy together have nearly 17600 kilometres with over 8000 beaches, some of which are among the best beaches in the world. And the best way to plan your next beach trip is having all the information at hand. With iPlaya you'll have a thorough guide to all Spanish, Portuguese and Italian beaches, including all their features and services available in them, accurate hourly weather forecast, exclusive drone footage, and users' reviews and photos to help you make your choice. If you've already used iPlaya before, you'll notice we’re working hard to offer more and better contents. We want to help you discover the perfect beach for you, so we include curated lists of beaches with photos, drone footage, and enhanced descriptions. And you can still search by name, navigate the lists of provinces and towns, and see the list of nearby beaches. And of course your list of favorites is there for quick one-tap access. The home page is the starting point to discover the perfect beach for you. It’s divided into four sections: - FEATURED is a dynamic section, which will grow periodically. In it you will find different types of content: lists of beaches grouped by some common criteria, reviews of specific beaches, stories about a coast area, etc. - LISTS groups different ways of searching for beaches: by province or region, by proximity, beaches with drone videos, etc. - MY BEACHES is your list, made up of the beaches that you mark as favorites. - FIND allows you to search for beaches by name or by setting filters by characteristics or weather conditions. Once you choose a beach, you’ll see a Summary with general info and links to the different sections: - FORECAST, with hourly reports for temperature, sky conditions, water temperature, swell (wave height, period and direction), and wind (speed, direction, gusts). And daily reports for tides and astronomy data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset). - List of TIDES for the next days. - FEATURES includes a map showing the location of the beach and the distance from your current location (with the possibility of calculating the route to the beach by car or on foot, or launching the Maps app to get navigation). This section also includes a brief description of the beach, a list of general features (length, width, type of sand, etc.), a list of the main services available at the beach (showers, toilets, sports areas, etc.), info about accessing the beach and safety info. Moreover, it includes a new image gallery with information posters found at the beach. You can contribute your own photos to this gallery. - RATINGS, which shows ratings, reviews and photos of the beach shared by users of the app. This is the section you can help grow by rating the beaches you know, writing reviews or uploading photos to share them with other users. (In order to send your ratings you must first login to your iPlaya account. Registering is super quick and easy!). - IMAGE GALLERY. From the Summary, you’ll be able to add the beach to your list of favorite beaches, warn us if you’ve spotted jellyfish over the last few hours, and share a photo or comment about the beach. Don't forget to 'starfish' your favorite beaches. The list will be available on your Apple Watch app so you'll get a summarized forecast on your wrist!

Aplicación móvil de AZTI-Tecnalia de la Estación Océano Meteorológica de Euskalmet en Pasaia (Gipuzkoa). La información ofrecida por Itsasbegi proviene de la Estación Océano Meteorológica de Pasaia (Gipuzkoa), que forma parte de la Red Océano-Meteorológica del País Vasco, gestionada por la Agencia Vasca de Meteorología-Euskalmet. La aplicación proporciona información sobre corrientes, oleaje, mareas, temperatura del mar y del aire, viento (velocidad y dirección), presión atmosférica, etc. La persona usuaria puede informarse también de los datos correspondientes a las 72 horas anteriores al momento de su consulta (históricos). Los datos de las tablas de previsión de mareas han sido calculados por AZTI-Tecnalia a partir de los análisis armónicos de la marea astronómica del registro de la estación de Pasaia. Las previsiones contemplan únicamente los componentes de origen astronómico de la marea; por tanto debe tenerse en cuenta que puede existir una componente de origen meteorológico no considera (del orden de decenas de centímetros como máximo). Los horarios de la tabla de marea son en GMT. Recuerda: "en invierno, la hora oficial es GMT + 1 (una) hora. En verano, la hora oficial es GMT + 2 (dos) horas".
