About this list
We benchmark every beach in our database against Edinburgh using great-circle (haversine) distance, then re-rank by today's actual sea temperature returned by Open-Meteo Marine. If a grid cell does not return a fresh value, we leave it blank instead of substituting a seasonal average.
