European Blue Flag

The Blue Flag is an international certification awarded to beaches and marinas that meet high standards of water quality, safety, environmental management, and availability of services. Countries in Europe and beyond participate in this program, which promotes sustainable coastal tourism. To earn the Blue Flag, a location must maintain clean water, have good safety measures like lifeguards and signage, provide waste management and environmental education, and ensure accessible facilities. The flag signals to visitors that the beach or marina is committed to environmental responsibility and offers a safe, enjoyable experience.
