About the creator

Independent project by Milos Savic.

BeachScout and ScoutPlatform were created by Milos Savic. BeachScout began with a simple idea: to build a worldwide map useful to the naturist community, while also serving anyone looking for beaches and swimming places around the world.

The project is independent, community-oriented and built with the goal of remaining free or inexpensive to use.
