I live in what the tourism board (of the city) call "The World's Most Beautiful Beaches". I can't attest to that, because I haven't been to every beach in the world. But I am going to check this and see what is said about my local beaches out of curiosity. I like how jellyfish are listed under a feature instead of maybe a danger lol The search doesn't seem to work for me, but the beaches reflect where I am when I drag the map to my location. Also where do you (or your tools) find the information in individual beach listings? I've never paid a fee to access my local beach (although there are some that are private).
Randall Kaplan
Hi @runtcpip – thank you for the suggestion search – we are working on making this much more user friendly! Fees can be common in Europe when beaches are private – fees are usually nominal – from 5-10 Euros for group entry. Let us know how we did for your local beaches!
Morgan Lucas
@randallkaplan So it sounds like it may default to Entry Fee no matter the beach location; I'm in America and looked at our beach and we don't do that a lot, although there are places like piers that may have a fee!

Love the re-launch!!! Sandee has been an awesome resource for me over the last year — I actually found it through product hunt so this is a cool full circle moment. Is there a way to add sand temperature in addition to water and air temperature? Might be a niche use case, but I’ve personally found that burning-hot sand can really detract from a great beach day
Randall Kaplan
@patrickg2004 Interesting point! That is valuable feedback for us – there is nothing worse than burnt / irritated feet from a beach day!

Hey, congrats on the launch! It would be nice to include additional weather data to be able to search/sort by the best weather conditions within a particular radius :)
Randall Kaplan
@semanser Thank you! That is a great idea, thank you for the suggestion! We will look into implementing this feature.

Have been waiting for a map feature for awhile. I remember planning a trip to LA and would have loved to be more informed about the different South Bay beaches and where they actually were. Hoping this is an easier fix for planning my next trip💪Great fix guys!
Christopher ODonnell
No point to this if people can just make stuff up. I just looked-up the beach I overlook from my apartment and someone had given it a fake romantic name and truly unreal facts about parking and amenities.

Alternative tagline: AllTrails for beaches. :)
Randall Kaplan
@rrhoover Yes! AllTrails is an amazing platform!
Fabian Lindner
Congrats on your PH launch! Love the website! Probably I am speaking only for a very small minority. But would love some content for climber related beaches (e.g. Deep-water soloing).
Randall Kaplan
@fabianlindner Thank you for the suggestion! That is a great suggestion that we can implement – thank you!
Roger Li
What an interesting idea ... I am looking forward to checking out the map feature. Is this going to get more accurate in the future?
Randall Kaplan
Let us know: how did we do on your favorite beach?

Congrats on the launch! Sandee has been super useful to me on many of my beach trips, from providing me parking information, weather updates, swimming conditions, and more. The map tool that you guys added is going to change finding a beach tremendously! Such an amazing tool!

Sandee is great. Instead of having 50 screens open on my screen, now I can have a one-stop answer that solves my concerns for a beach destination. Thank you for making this brilliant idea happen!

The map feature is awesome! Love exploring on there and great to find some hidden gems. It makes me want to take a day trip to a new beach. Would also love a feature to track all the beaches I’ve been to. Great job!!
Giorgos Gennaris
Congratulations! This is a very interesting idea
Ryan Sprague
Sandee has been a great resource for me in finding new beaches. I love the map feature where I can locate beaches near me. I will start to use this as a resource before traveling to discover more beaches. This saves me time from scrolling through websites trying to find a desirable location. This was a great idea!
Rory Zhang
Super glad that something like Sandee has finally been created. Planning beach trips is SO research-intensive and requires you to open many blogs each with various opinions. Super appreciative of all the work you guys have put in for this website. Best wishes for your product! Also check out my favorite beach on Sandee: https://sandee.com/united-states.... Hopefully more people visit Carp!

This product looks amazing! I’ve been looking for an all-knowing beach platform and Sandee has done it! It’s a great help to locate obscure beaches that I couldn’t find anywhere else.

Sander has been my favorite trip planner app for my family this year. As my family started to enjoying beach vacation more than lake house vacation, I have explored some of the most stunning beaches on my travel list. Hope I get a chance to visit them by the end of this year!

Amazing! This latest iteration is going to be so helpful! I'm looking forward to be able to use it on my upcoming vacation!

Wow, this is INCREDIBLE! It's going to be so much easier to find a wedding venue near my hotel in Bali!
