Why Choose a Blue Flag Beach?
The Blue Flag recognition rewards the merit of coastal municipalities for excelling in adopting sustainable practices in land management, not only concerning beaches or ports.
Emphasis is placed on and the quantity of free beach is assessed, as well as the quality of beach facilities, the quality of bathing waters, and the presence of lifeguard assistance.
The management of wastewater and waste, and the environmental initiatives adopted in the region.
The presence of environmental education programs and the availability of information and outreach on sustainable practices.
The overall evaluation also considers the quality of tourist services. This is just one of the many assessment parameters.
Who awards the Blue Flag recognition?
The Blue Flag recognition is awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which is a non-profit international non-governmental organization.
The FEE evaluates the applications of coastal municipalities through a thorough selection and review process.
