How we know

Where this comes from

Place details from the public Google business listing. Beach shape, parking and facility positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL). Aerial imagery is 25 cm national coverage from the Chief Directorate: National Geo-spatial Information, used with permission. Tide is modelled, and weather, waves and water temperature come from Open-Meteo, each labelled as measured or modelled. Map drawings are redrawn from that aerial imagery by an image model. Markers, distances and every fact on this page come from OpenStreetMap and counted reviews, never from a drawing. Review text is never republished.
