Hi Product Hunt Community! My name is Randall Kaplan: I’m a Co-Founder of Akamai Technologies, podcast host, an early investor in Google and Lyft, and today I am sharing my passion that has been developed over the past 8 years - Sandee, the world’s premier source of beach information! 🏖️🌊 https://sandee.com/ While traveling abroad in Greece, I realized how irritating it was finding information on individual beach destinations. There was no centralized site where I could find comprehensive data on different beaches and their activities, amenities, and attractions nearby which often significantly diminished my family’s vacation experience and made travel decisions unnecessarily stressful! At Sandee we have created a Yelp for beaches for the 1.5 billion people who visit the beach each year. Over the last 8 years, we have spent more than 300,000 hours cataloging more than 100 categories of information for every beach in the world to create the best beach resource across the 7 seas – more than 100,000 beaches in 212 countries. Our mission is to give beachgoers around the world easy-to-use information that will help them plan visits to their favorite beaches. 🗾🗽🏛️ Sandee collected over 100 categories of information about every beach in the world, including: - Photos 📸 - Videos 🎬 - Bathrooms 🚻 - Parking 🅿️ - Attractions 🎡 - Restaurants 🫕 - Hotels 🏨 I want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your support. The team and interns – @matthickory and @akash_suryavanshi3 - and I are working tirelessly to create an exceptional beach experience and keep Sandee as the most convenient beach travel platform near you. We are immensely proud of Sandee and highly value user input! Feel free to reach out to me on any of my social platforms to engage further.🙂

@randallkaplan This is super cool product, thanks a lot! As a surfer I would really appreciate if the rating for surfing beaches was adjusted for the season as different beaches work differently throughout the year. Congratulations on this launch!!

@maria_loleyt Hi Maria - thank you for the suggestion! We will look into adding this.

@jorge_aguilar_avendano Thank you! How did we do on your favorite beach?

I'm a fan of vertical-specific geo products like this. Another example: AllTrails, a massive database for hiking routes.
Randall Kaplan
@rrhoover Hi Ryan, your support is very appreciated. We're excited to see Sandee redefine beach experiences just as AllTrails did for hikers. The future of specialized geo-discovery looks bright!
Quick feedback, the search bar isn't working, at least for the search of "Rio de Janeiro"

@ricardo_luz Hi Ricardo! Thank you for the feedback. We'll look into this bug 😁 The search bar is something we've been waiting to optimize. We are planning in the coming months that users will be able to type complex queries such as, "Show me the top 5 best dog friendly beaches in San Diego."
@randallkaplan That's great! Since I live in Rio was one of my go to queries. And also since I live in Rio, I am fascinated for beaches and one of my favorite places to be. Great tool and keep up the awesome work!
Randall Kaplan
@ricardo_luz Love to hear it! Thank you!

The page for Coney Island had amazing detail and actually gave me one or two new activities to try after eighteen years in NY. Love the site and I'm excited to see where you go in the future!
Matt Hickerson
@patrickg2004 Thanks Patrick for the specific feedback! Let us know how we can make the site better!
