Blue Flag Beaches

The Blue Flag program is not only an identifier of which beaches are the best to visit, but also helps to improve tourism and facilities, and boosts coastal ecosystem management and awareness. Since 1987, the international Blue Flag operation has become the most well-known eco-label of its kind, with almost 4 000 Blue Flag beaches and marinas in the world.
