How the Beach Score is calculated: 7.0 of 10

The score is the sum of the components below. Clear water counts only where a clarity source exists. Rankings never take revenue as an input.

Component	Points	Fact
Facilities	2.5 of 3	Within walking distance: parking, bathrooms, restaurants.
Calm water	1.7 of 2	Mean daily maximum wave 1.5 ft.
Warm water	0.7 of 1	Mean sea temperature 79 F.
Sunset over water	1.0 of 1	10 months a year, August to May.

Verdicts on the cards come from the same facts. Sources: OpenStreetMap (Sep 10, 2026), Open-Meteo (Sep 10, 2026), Operator official pages (hours, fees, rules) (Sep 6, 2026). The formula is on the methodology page.
