Tide Alerts

Tide alerts can help frequent diggers plan ahead, but they should always be paired with current beach-opening information.

Plan Ahead

Send reminders far enough in advance for visitors to organize travel, gear, and lodging when necessary.

Include the Beach

A tide time alone is not enough. Pair it with the relevant beach and current digging status.

Avoid Confusing Tides with Approval

Clearly state that tide information does not itself authorize digging and that official openings must still be confirmed.
