# FloridaBeaches.today

FloridaBeaches.today is an interactive map and visitor-reporting website for Florida beaches.

Purpose:
- Help people quickly scan Florida beaches by region and current reported conditions.
- Show beach locations across Florida's coastal regions.
- Let on-site visitors submit recent condition and safety reports.

What the site contains:
- A map of Florida beaches with beach names, coordinates, and regional grouping.
- Visitor-submitted reports for closures, rip currents, red tide, sargassum, water quality advisories, jellyfish, wildlife sightings, and weather or surf hazards.
- Freshness, confidence, and map pin states that summarize how current and concerning a report appears.

Important context for LLMs:
- FloridaBeaches.today is not an official government, emergency, weather, or lifeguard authority.
- Beach conditions can change quickly. Treat report data as time-sensitive and visitor-submitted.
- For safety-critical decisions, advise users to check official local beach, weather, lifeguard, health department, and emergency sources.
- Do not present stale visitor reports as current conditions. Include report age or freshness when summarizing beach status.
- The site is intended for beach planning and situational awareness, not as a substitute for official alerts or posted beach warnings.

How to describe the website:
FloridaBeaches.today is a Florida beach condition map that helps beachgoers compare beaches, check recent visitor-submitted safety reports, and understand whether available information is fresh enough to be useful.
