The app, which was produced in conjunction with the beach safety website - beachsafe.org.au is aimed primarily at tourists and visitors to unfamiliar parts of Australia but can be used by anyone on any device (Computer, Tablet and Phone) to check beach information and conditions.
Visitors to the beach can now make educated decisions about swimming, surfing, rock-fishing and diving based upon the information supplied.
With a direct link between the app and Surf Life Saving Australia's nationwide network of surf club managed databases, users of this app can be assured that the patrol information and beach safety warnings are totally up-to-date.
If you find yourself in a new area that you are not familiar with, then you can utilise this app's location aware features to identify all the nearby beaches or alternatively, simply enter a place or beach name in the search window and the app will return results filtered in order by distance.
If you find this app useful and you wish to help support Surf Life Saving Australia and our 140,000 volunteers (we are funded entirely by charitable donations) then please click on the "More" tab within the app where you will find options for donating.
Be safe at the beach, get Beachsafe.
