It hasn't been a week since I met OSM and Osmand. And I created all the beaches in a city from scratch. I added the important points in detail with their labels. I took long walks and it was fun.

Pokemon GO recently introduced a new Pokemon from the Scarlet/Violet games, Wigglett. It only spawns in areas designated as beaches, and Pokemon GO primarily sources its map data from OSM. A lot of people don't have many beaches nearby, making it a pretty rare Pokemon.
