Wouldn’t it be handy to have all of this information, plus beach descriptions, live surf and tide conditions, annual water quality classifications, and real-time notifications for your favorite beaches – all at your fingertips? Great news! – we have redeveloped the Safer Seas Service smartphone app for 2019 which offers all of these features and more. Learn more about our pioneering, free service here.
