Blue Flag Award beach and marina managers
The Blue Flag is one of the world's most recognised awards for beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating tourism operators. To qualify, a beach must meet and maintain a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety and accessibility criteria. The award is a clear sign of a high-quality, safe, and clean destination.

Seaside Award for beach and coastal managers
The Seaside Award also celebrates the high standards of England's beaches. This national award, managed by Keep Britain Tidy, is a sign that a beach is clean, safe, and well-managed. Unlike the Blue Flag, it can be awarded to beaches that are not designated bathing waters, making it an ideal way to recognise a wider range of coastal sites for their quality and diversity.
