Community Outreach Program
Global coastal travel with
local community connection
Beach Buddy connects people to your local coastline while supporting tourism and better real-time decisions. Users can explore coastal regions around the globe — and when they arrive, the app becomes a local guide that encourages repeat use: check hazards and conditions before choosing a beach and before entering the ocean.
Beach Buddy helps residents and visitors plan better beach days:
- where to go
- where to stay
- where to eat
- what to do
What users see
Residents and visitors use the Beach Buddy app as a beach day pocket companion: local activity planning plus real-time conditions, storms, and hazard awareness — helping people make better decisions in your specific area.
- Choose the best beach for the activity
- Local discovery encourages longer stays and repeat visits
- More engagement → stronger local community awareness and encourages users to eat, stay and play locally.
- Updated conditions for the selected region
- Storm awareness supports planning and confidence
- Hazard warnings keep “know before you go” front and center, informing users of existing ripe currents, shark incidents, and more.
“Better together” network effect
The more communities participate, the more useful Beach Buddy becomes for everyone — a clearer real-time view of coastal regions worldwide, while still staying specific and relevant to each local area.
