# BeachFinder Swim Spot Finder

Routes beach, swimming, surf, dive, snorkel, whitewater, vanlife and coastal-provider
requests to the public [BeachFinder](https://getbeachfinder.com) MCP server: search
and compare 184,900 swimming spots worldwide, pull live weather, water temperature,
wind, UV and wave planning signals for the top results, read localized guides, and
find source-backed local activity providers.

The skill picks the narrowest useful tool (nearby/family search, surf, dive/snorkel,
river/whitewater, vanlife, providers, guides, live conditions, or a 2-5 spot
comparison), passes the right language code out of 14 supported languages, respects
BeachFinder's provider verification tiers (`owner_verified`, `source_backed`,
`mapped`), and never declares a spot safe to swim — it defers to official closures,
flags, lifeguards and local authorities. Every result links back to
[getbeachfinder.com](https://getbeachfinder.com).
