It might not be flip-flops and icecream weather but we can still appreciate our Blue Flag beaches and marinas. A record 85 beaches and 10 marinas have been awarded Blue Flag Status today: this means they adhere to specific criteria related to water quality, information provision, environmental education, safety and site management.

And Green Coast Award recognises beaches for their clean environment, excellent water quality and natural beauty.
