Blue Flag is the prestigious, voluntary eco-label for beaches, marinas and boats that is recognised as a trusted symbol of quality and regarded by the World Tourism Organisation as the most well-known eco-label globally. Congratulations and a big thank you to everyone involved! You can read the official WESSA press release here. The beaches are:
