Source providers by role
These are the public institutions, open data services, webcam services, and map/place platforms PlayaGo relies on. They are grouped by how they support beach guidance, live visual context, map display, or nearby next steps.
Independent guidance
Provider names identify the sources PlayaGo references. They do not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or control over recommendations.
Official conditions and safety
Authority sources carry the most weight where weather warnings, bathing-water context, or official beach status matter.
Coverage note
Municipal restriction notices appear on individual beach pages when PlayaGo has a named current source; they are not shown here as a regular provider until coverage is durable.

How sources become beach guidance
A beach-level decision layer, not another island forecast.
PlayaGo uses public forecasts and official status information rather than replacing them. It combines those inputs with each covered beach's location, exposure, and known profile to explain likely wind, waves, comfort, and suitability. When evidence is incomplete, stale, or safety-sensitive, the recommendation becomes more cautious.

What we will and will not claim
Official safety comes first
Beach signs, flags, lifeguards, municipal notices, and official restrictions beat any app recommendation.
Forecasts are not live observations
Weather and wave forecasts explain likely conditions; they are not a promise of what is happening at the water right now.
No paid influence
Restaurants and local partners cannot buy beach rankings, safety language, or recommendation labels.
Gaps stay visible
When a source is missing or a beach has weaker coverage, PlayaGo avoids pretending the data is stronger than it is.
