Working with the RNLI, the app currently covers 90 beaches across the South West. Partnering with the RNLI, the My Coast app gives REAL TIME information, centralising around beach safety and providing general information on the coastline. Our aim is to provide the general public a completely free beach safety and information tool so they may make more informed decisions when they visit the coast, thereby improving safety and reducing beach-related incidents. Some of the safety features include:
- Tide times & risk of being cut off by tide.
- Current sea conditions
- Surf safety
- Rip tide warnings
- Water quality/Sewage warnings
- Beach mapping with active lifeguards
- General safety information specific to that beach. The My Coast app also enables filters to select the ideal beach to visit, giving access to information such as:
- Local amenities
- Facilities - I.E toilets, showers and changing facilities
- Parking information
- Navigation to beaches via maps
- Dog walking information
- Accessibility information
- "Useful things to know" articles providing general beach information (I.E - what to do if you step on a weaver fish)
& more. This is just to start. Isn't it amazing to have a single beach app with access to a multitude of real time information in the palm of your hand? My Coast is currently in the early stages of development and running the pilot version, and we have so much more exciting features to come. And best of all, it's completely FREE to download and use -
