What is the Blue Flag?
Imagine a symbol that guarantees sparkling clean water, top-notch facilities, and a focus on environmental protection. That’s exactly what the Blue Flag represents. This international eco-label is awarded to beaches and marinas that meet strict criteria set by the Foundation for Environmental Education.
Why Does This Matter?
A Blue Flag beach is more than just a pretty place to relax. It ensures a safe and healthy experience for beachgoers. Clean water means less risk of illness, while lifeguards and first-aid facilities provide peace of mind. Additionally, Blue Flag beaches actively promote responsible waste management and environmental education, ensuring the beauty of the coastline is preserved for generations to come.
