beacheo™

I’m excited to announce the launch of my very own app, beacheo! I love the beach and wanted an app that would have information about every beach all in one spot. For years, I waited for years for someone else to create a beach app, but it never happened, so I took a chance and developed one myself!It all started when I’d go down the Cape with my friends. There were so many times that we would get to our favorite beach by 8am and the parking lot would be full. Then we’d have to figure out what beach we wanted to go to that had all the amenities that we wanted. Of course, we didn’t pack lunch, so we had to find a place that had food.

Long story short, beacheo brings you everything you need to know about salt water beaches in the USA, helping you make the best decision about which beach you’ll enjoy, given what’s most important to you.
