Score: 4121

Distance: 387km

Reasoning:

This appears to be a beach on Germany’s North Sea coast, likely on one of the East Frisian Islands. Key indicators include: the wide, flat sandy beach typical of the North Sea, the calm shallow waters with visible people wading, the dune vegetation on the right side, the gray overcast sky common to this region, and the overall landscape characteristics. The beach style and vegetation pattern are consistent with Norderney or similar islands off the German coast. The Google Street View watermark and the general appearance suggest this is from one of Germany’s major North Sea beach destinations.

Score: 3459

Distance: 737km

Lat: 55.40694133201709, Lng: 14.21911937514406


Reasoning:

The image features a very wide, light sandy beach backed by high dunes covered in sparse grass (dune grass). The sky is heavily overcast, suggesting a northerly or temperate maritime climate. This combination of features (wide, flat beach; specific dune vegetation; cloudy weather) is highly characteristic of the North Sea coast of the Netherlands or Germany. The specific texture and color of the sand, combined with the rolling dunes, particularly resemble the Dutch coast, such as beaches near Katwijk or Noordwijk.

Distance: 341km

Reasoning:

The image depicts a sandy beach with a calm sea and a cloudy sky. The presence of people walking dogs on the beach suggests a popular recreational area. The landscape and climate appear to be characteristic of Northern Europe. Upon closer inspection, the image’s characteristics, such as the type of sand and the overcast weather, are consistent with beaches along the Baltic Sea coast. The specific location is likely in Poland, given the geography and the fact that the image is from Google Street View, which often covers European beaches. The coordinates 53.5653, 18.4477 correspond to a beach area in Poland, near the town of Kąty Rybackie, which is known for its sandy beaches and is a plausible match for the scene depicted.

Score: 3469

Distance: 731km

Lat: 55.40694133201709, Lng: 14.21911937514406


Reasoning:

The image shows a wide, sandy beach with gentle dunes covered in marram grass, a calm gray sea under an overcast sky, and people walking casually. These features are characteristic of the North Sea coast in the Netherlands, particularly around Noordwijk aan Zee, known for its expansive beaches and similar vegetation. The flat horizon and beach layout match Street View images from this area.

Score: 4471

Distance: 224km

Reasoning:

Wide, flat white sand beach with low grassy dunes and an overcast, cool-looking Baltic Sea atmosphere suggests northern Europe (Baltic coast). Vegetation (beach grass), sparse tourist infrastructure and people wearing jackets point to a Baltic rather than Mediterranean location. The coastline curvature and sand texture are typical of the Polish coast near Łeba / Słowiński National Park, so I place the guess at the Łeba area on Poland’s Baltic coast (approx. 54.7608 N, 17.5450 E).

Reasoning:

The image shows a sandy beach with a wide, open shoreline and overcast sky, characteristic of the Baltic Sea coast. The presence of dunes on the right and the landscape suggest a location in Poland or Germany along the Baltic Sea. Given the latitude and longitude typical for Polish Baltic coast beaches (e.g., near Łeba or similar coastal towns), the coordinates are estimated to be around 54.2° N and 18.0° E.


Methodology Note

Each model receives the same Google Street View image. Models are tasked with guessing the location of the image using only visual clues from the street view. Their answers are evaluated without feedback or retries.
