The coast of Spain has almost 8000 kilometres, with over 3000 beaches, some of which are among the best beaches in the world. And the best way to plan your next beach trip is having all the information at hand.
With iPlaya youll have a thorough guide to all Spanish beaches, including all their features and services available in them, accurate hourly weather forecast, and users reviews and photos to help you make your choice.
*********************************************************
If youve already used iPlaya before, youll notice that weve kept the feel and ease of use of previous versions of the app, while adding many new features and data.
Find beaches by either using the list of provinces and towns, the list of nearby beaches, or just typing the name of the beach in the search bar. You can also mark beaches you like or go to more often as favorites for a quick one-tap access.
The detail view for a beach is divided into 4 tabs:
- Summary, which gives you a general idea of the beach (the maximum UV index for the day is here among other data)
- Forecast, with hourly reports for temperature, sky conditions, water temperature, swell (wave height, period and direction), and wind (speed, direction, gusts). And daily reports for tides and astronomy data (sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset).
- Features, which includes a map showing the location of the beach and the distance from your current location (with the possibility of calculating the route to the beach by car or on foot, or launching the Maps app to get navigation). This section also includes a brief description of the beach, a list of general features (length, width, type of sand, etc.), a list of the main services available at the beach (showers, toilets, sports areas, etc.), information about accessing the beach and safety information.
- Ratings, which shows ratings, reviews and photos of the beach shared by users of the app. This is the section you can help grow by rating the beaches you know, writing reviews or uploading photos to share them with other users. (In order to send your ratings you must first login to your iPlaya account. Registering is super quick and easy!)
The Coastal areas section of the app is still there so you can explore swell forecasts for the following days with an animated map. Essential for boat trips.
