Peros Banhos Location
-5.3333, 71.8500

It usually sits a short distance from the town centre, out on the open water itself, so the numbers stay tied to the coast rather than a generic point inland.
Coastlines bend, headlands focus the water, and the temperature can run noticeably differently between two beaches that look close together on a map. Comparing nearby locations is a quick way to see how local geography is shaping the readings.
