Info Praia is a free Android application developed by Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente, which provides beachgoers with updated information on the quality of coastal, transitional, or inland bathing waters in Mainland Portugal and the Autonomous Regions. Users can select their favorite beaches and have access to information such as water quality, awards, equipment, and services available. The app also offers the latest bathing water quality analyses and daily meteorological forecast data provided by the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere, IP, and tidal information from the Hydrographic Institute. For certain beaches, users can even view images taken from cameras on site.

In addition, APA guarantees the monitoring of water quality throughout the bathing season by conducting analyses to assess whether the waters are suitable for bathing, ensuring greater safety for users and their families. The app also provides information on the status of beach occupancy, signaled by flags at the beach entrance, which help to avoid excessive affluence. Users can choose beaches with low occupancy, guarded, and with good quality, among other important conditions. It is important to adopt safety practices and place garbage in its proper container to preserve the beaches, which are an invaluable asset to everyone. Always keep a safe distance and enjoy the beach with Info Praia.
