# Solana Beach > Solana Beach is a public explorer for the @solana network that provides insights into validators, tokens, programs, wallets, and more. Solana Beach is a block explorer and analytics platform for the Solana network. It provides real-time data on blocks, transactions, validators, and tokens for developers and researchers. Solana Beach is a block explorer and analytics tool built for the Solana network. It gives users real-time visibility into blocks, transactions, validators, and token activity through a searchable web interface. It is aimed at developers, researchers, and general users who want to track what is happening on the network without running their own infrastructure. The explorer indexes on-chain data and presents it across dedicated views covering slot height, epoch progress, validator performance, and circulating and staked token supply. This structure lets users move between network-wide summaries and granular detail on individual blocks, transactions, or validators. The interface is designed to make network activity legible to both technical and non-technical audiences. Beyond its main dashboard, Solana Beach offers separate sections for validators, transactions, blocks, and tokens, each focused on a specific slice of network activity. It is used by developers monitoring deployments, researchers studying validator behavior and network health, and users tracking staking activity and token metrics on Solana. - Type: Project - Sector: Data & Analytics - Status: Active - Founded: 2020-03-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solana_Beach ## Products - [Solana Beach Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solana_Beach): Solana Beach Explorer is a block explorer for the Solana network. It displays real-time slot, epoch, and validator data alongside searchable records of transactions, blocks, accounts, and tokens. Developers, validators, and investors use it to monitor network activity and inspect on-chain data through a browser-based dashboard. (Block Explorer, Live, Main Product) - [Solana Beach API](https://thegrid.id/profiles/Solana_Beach): Solana Beach API is a public REST API providing structured access to Solana network data. It exposes endpoints for validator lists, stake accounts, staking rewards, block information, transaction previews, and cluster-level metrics such as skip rate and yield breakdowns. Developers and researchers use it to programmatically retrieve indexed on-chain data for building applications or conducting analysis without operating their own infrastructure.
