Beach Day API

Beach Day API is a developer-first REST API for real-time beach, surf, water quality, tide, and coastal condition data. The API answers one simple question: is it a good day to go to the beach? Instead of forcing developers to scrape government websites, query NOAA stations, parse state water quality reports, and stitch together coastal data from multiple sources, Beach Day API provides clean JSON responses through a single API. It aggregates water quality grades, ocean conditions, weather snapshots, tide data, advisories, and beach metadata for 34,000+ beaches across 103 countries — the US, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Croatia, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Turkey, Portugal, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Mexico, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Panama, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Peru, New Zealand, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and more. Built for developers who want reliable coastal data without the scraping headache. Beach Day API is built for travel apps, weather apps, beach finder tools, local news widgets, tourism platforms, real estate tools, coastal safety products, AI agents, and any application that needs structured beach condition data. Each beach is pre-mapped to relevant coastal data sources, including nearby NOAA NDBC buoys and tide stations where available. A single API call can return details such as water quality grade, wave height, water temperature, UV index, wind speed, tide data, beach advisories, coordinates, amenities, and a proprietary Beach Day Score from 0 to 100. The Beach Day Score gives developers a simple way to summarize beach conditions for end users. Instead of showing raw data points alone, apps can rank, filter, or explain whether a beach looks favorable for a visit today. Beach Day API uses straightforward Bearer token authentication and credit-based pricing. New users receive 50 free credits on signup with no credit card required. Paid credit packs are prepaid, with no subscription or automatic billing required. Official client libraries are available for Python and Node.js: Python: pip install beachdayapi Node.js: npm install beachdayapi Beach Day API is designed for developers who want reliable coastal data without the scraping headache. Whether you are building a beach recommendation app, a local conditions dashboard, a coastal safety alert system, or an AI-powered travel assistant, Beach Day API gives you the structured beach data layer to build faster.
