Whitmore Bay earns Blue Flag status
By Ellyn Wright 12th May 2021
Whitmore Bay has been awarded Blue Flag status, placing it among some of the best beaches in Wales.
The certification guarantees the quality of the bathing water and facilities at the beach, with the main criteria to earn the status including:
• Environmental Education and Information• Water Quality
• Environmental Management• Safety and Services
Sharing the list of 2021 winners, Blue Flag said: "The Blue Flag Beach Award is widely considered the gold standard for beaches. Awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education, the Blue Flag is internationally recognised.
"Whilst most people are aware that Blue Flag certification guarantees the quality of bathing water, this is only part of the criteria. At this point, it is worth stressing that a Blue Flag beach is not necessarily any better than other beaches. In fact, quite the opposite is true of many of Britain's smaller, picturesque coves.
"The Blue Flag award is ideally suited to resort beaches with plenty of facilities. It is for this reason that the other awards granted in the UK may be of equal or more use in choosing a suitable beach."
The certification is reviewed annually.
