Coverage and evidence
These 5 guides are not an exhaustive shoreline or same-day opening certificate. City GIS approach observations, monitoring segments and historical inventories retain their separate scopes. Pins are approximate planning references, not surveyed entrances or sand endpoints.
Typical underwater clarity, shore snorkeling, offshore excursions, full nudity and female-topless use are assessed separately. Positive filters require verified supporting evidence.
