Advertising Disclosure

The site is free. Ads and a few partner links pay for it. Here's how that works.

Ads

Display ads come from Google AdSense. Google picks them, not us, so an ad next to a restaurant or a story isn't an endorsement. Ads are labelled, and you won't find them above the beach flag, over the live cam, or on forms and sign-in pages. No pop-ups, no full-screen takeovers.

Google may use cookies to show ads based on sites you've visited. Our privacy policy explains it, and you can turn personalised ads off in Google's ad settings.

Partner links

Some links are marked Sponsored link. If you buy through one, the site gets a cut and your price doesn't change. Right now that's Shibumi Shade, in the "Shade read" box that checks today's wind for you, and Stay22, which earns a commission when you book a stay through our Booking.com or Vrbo search links (on the where-to-stay guide, the dog guide and under the forecast on Beach Today), Discover Cars, which earns a commission when you book a rental car through our airport links (on the trip planner and the getting-here answers), and Viator, which earns a commission on tours booked through our Viator links (on the things-to-do, dolphin cruise and parasail pages). Our charter and boat-rental pages send you to book directly with the operator, and we earn nothing there.

What doesn't change

• Nobody pays to be recommended. Our picks are ours.
• Nobody pays to get a bad review softened or removed.
• Anything paid is labelled where you see it.
• We don't sell your email.
