The number of Blue Flag beaches in Wales has increased, according to a recent announcement.
This is great news for tourists and locals alike, as it means that more of Wales’ beaches are meeting the high standards set by the Blue Flag programme.
The programme is run by an international organisation called the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), and it assesses beaches on a range of criteria including water quality, environmental management, safety and facilities.
To be awarded a Blue Flag, a beach must meet a range of strict criteria set by the FEE.
The news that more of Wales’ beaches are meeting these standards is great news for everyone who loves spending time at the seaside.
