New Beach Safety App released
Although the Roseland doesn't have any lifeguarded beaches, this is such a good idea we had to publicise it!
The free MyCoast beach information app is now live across all 60 RNLI Lifeguarded beaches in Cornwall, providing users with real-time information alongside built-in safety parameters provided by the RNLI. It’s aim? To direct people away from beaches with unsuitable conditions whilst providing users with all the relevant information they need for planning a great day out on the Cornish coast.
Created in Cornwall alongside the RNLI and a host of other leading collaborators, MyCoast allows users to plan better and safer beach days out. Users are able to choose their activities for that day, before adding whether they are bringing children with them, or have accessibility needs. They are then able to select any facilities and amenities, such as parking, toilets or food and drink before searching. The complex engine at the heart of the MyCoast app then analyses the users requirements, together with the weather, water quality, sea conditions and specific water safety parameters for each beach, built-in by the RNLI, before displaying the beaches which are suitable for their activities and needs. As a result, users can make more informed decisions before visiting the beach.
What makes MyCoast so unique is that it is the only app to not only pull real-time data across these features, but it has the RNLI’s built-in safety parameters as well as detailed information about geolocated facilities, which users can navigate to from within the app.
