This is the new website to check if an island beach is saturated

PalmThe Government has finally launched the app and website to check the occupancy of the Balearic Islands' beaches in real time and predict their influx to improve saturation on the coast. Although the platform is in the testing phase and its functionalities will be expanded in the coming months, there are already 150 sensorized beaches and the Executive has made it available to users. The commitment of President Marga Prohens was that it would be launched this summer. But since it has not started until the end of July, the data from the first half of the season will no longer be collected.

The day after ARA Balears made public that monitoring was pending, the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Innovation has published a statement informing of the launch of the Digital Twin of Tourism and, within this framework, this tool, despite being "in a testing phase and progressive improvement and expansion". It integrates information from different sources to offer data to residents, tourists, and public administrations. The web platform (available by clicking on the link) allows you to check the occupancy status of beaches based on information from lifeguards, historical data, and environmental and meteorological conditions.

Thus, you can know the situation of the beaches before traveling and decide which space to visit, favoring a more balanced distribution of users throughout the territory. The tool facilitates the planning of public services and contributes to improving mobility, safety, coastal conservation, and the management of tourist resources. Furthermore, when a beach has high occupancy or is predicted to have high occupancy, the platform offers recommendations for alternative beaches that may suit the visitor's preferences.
