the app will ping the phone at key locations along the coast. At each location, the initial screen will tell you about the place and its point of interest, from which you can do a deeper dive into the information.

The app will be released in early March 2024 and will be suitable for most smart phones. You will be able to download the free app from your favourite apps store once released.
