Overview

## What BeachFinder does

BeachFinder indexes 184,900 places to swim, including beaches, lakes and other bathing sites. A search starts from a city, and results can be ranked against a chosen use: family swimming, warm water, calm wind, surf, snorkelling, whitewater or vanlife.

For the top results it pulls live conditions, among them water temperature, wind, UV, weather and wave signals for planning. Localised guides, activity providers with sources attached, and an anonymised aggregate of community reports also appear. Results link out to getbeachfinder.com.

Every tool is read-only, and none of them will call a spot safe to swim. That call rests with lifeguards, posted flags, official closures and local authorities.

### Who it is for

Swimmers, surfers and van travellers comparing conditions at several water spots before picking one.

### What stands out

It declines to make a safety judgement, presenting conditions data and deferring to lifeguards and official notices.

Availability

## Where BeachFinder is listed

BeachFinder is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. BeachFinder has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
