Table of contents:
This curious summer of 2020 is being strange even for going to the beach. And it is that, due to the presence of COVID, there are restrictions in places of leisure in the open air such as the beaches and coves of Spain. Something that can make you find yourself with the surprise that you can't go to one of these places because the capacity is full And yes, until now we had applications to know at all times the state of the sea, the wind, the temperature or even know the extra services offered by some beaches.But what about the capacity? Is there any formula to know it before scrolling to know if you can enter? Yes, some applications already offer these details.
PlayasApp
It is a simple application to know the occupation of different municipalities in Spain. At the moment there is no information on all the beaches, but they are committed to continuing to expand the number of places to show the application. It's called PlayasApp You can download it for free in the Google Play Store and in the App Store, if you have an Android phone or an iPhone.
Just open it and choose one of the municipalities that are uploading their data to the application. This way you will come across the different beaches available. Among these data, the one that stands out is that of occupation, shown with an updated percentage from time to time.Of course, you can also find other general data such as weather, temperature and wind strength Although this application focuses on capacity.
MySafePlaya
It is another application where you can find updated information on a good number of beaches. The only negative point is that you will have to register or use your Google or Facebook account to be able to access all this information A quick step but it can set you back if you want to make a query right away. The good thing is that it is completely free in both the Google Play Store and the App Store.
Once inside you must look for the name of the beach or the place where it is located. So you can see the places related to the occupation information updated to the last minutesAll this in a really clear and detailed way. It even has information of an atmospheric nature so that we have all the data about it. It also highlights all the detailed information of these places such as the closing, opening and cleaning hours, or the services offered. It is possibly the most complete beach capacity application, although it has the handicap of registering and having to search for the beach by name.
Capacity: Costa del Sol
