Beach Awards Information
Blue Flag
In order to qualify for The Blue Flag Award, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety-related, and access-related criteria must be met and maintained.
The program aims to raise environmental awareness and promote good environmental behaviour among tourists and local populations and best practice among beach and marina management staff.
The prestigious Blue Flag for beaches is acknowledged in 46 countries around the world and is operated by the Foundation for Environmental Education
Green Coast
The Green Coast Award recognises excellent water quality, high environmental standards, and sensitive management of rural beaches.
The award is for beaches that have not only achieved EC excellent water quality but are prized for their natural unspoiled environment. This means that they generally do not have the level of infrastructure and intensive management generally associated with more urban, traditional resort beaches. Because of the nature of the award, you will not find a flag flying but you should find an unobtrusive plaque somewhere.
Awards
When heading to the coast, remember to check the tides times for Pembrokeshire. Your swathe of golden sand might have disappeared for its twice daily wash or at the end of your beach stroll you find the tide has snuck in behind you and left you stranded.
