I filled in the details of my local beach here in the North East of the UK (https://beachnearby.com/beach/roker-beach-sunderland-england), and I had to laugh at the "Umbrellas for Rent" question. We do need them, but not for keeping the sun off.

Also, should answering "No" to questions about "Mosquitoes" and "Sharks" really considered thumbs down? Are beaches that have mosquitoes and sharks better?

Thanks a lot for adding the data! Haha. The thumbs down is just a way to represent "No" via emoji, I think it could be confusing / inconsistent to change them according to specific data points like "Shark", but I definitely understand that there can be a problem with it. I'll think about it. Thanks for the feedback!
