Criteria For A Blue Flag Beach

Throughout the years, the significance of the Blue Flag Award scheme has motivated local councils and managers to enhance the quality of their beaches. This initiative has led to a notable revival of the country’s stunning and diverse coastline.

As more people choose domestic holidays, it is vital to maintain these picturesque locations and ensure high water quality.

A Blue Flag not only indicates to residents and visitors that they have reached a clean, safe, and beautiful beach but also symbolises a quality standard. This makes the beach a valuable asset for both the community and local businesses, therefore boosting tourism and local businesses.
