Hello. I'm translating a text about beaches in a tourist resort and the following appears under the description of the
"ocupación: Alta, baño" whilst another beach is described as "ocupación: Media, baño". The other information provided in the short list about each beach is regarding the type of sand, the waves and the length of the beach. I am wondering whether this is as simple as it seems to be or if there is another meaning: can it be referring to how busy the beach is? And to the fact that it is suitable for swimming? There isn't any additional conext unfortunately as this is the only time this is mentioned in the text. Many thanks for your help!

utilization (with the caveat below)
This term is the way to go if you are translating a study or a report. See: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B75... that uses the words utilization (could be shortened to the more informal "use") and attendance. If it is a tourist brochure something like "popular", "less popular" or as a warning "crowded"/ "less crowded" could be used.
