The data behind it

The server reads the same hand-curated dataset the site publishes at /data/beaches.json — see About & data for the method. Sea temperatures are typical warm-season values (climatological, not live buoy readings). The data is free under CC BY 4.0; tool responses carry the credit line — please keep it when quoting:
