Title

Wales Coast Awards (2025)

Abstract

The Wales Coast Awards play a vital role in protecting our precious marine environment and are recognised around the world as a symbol of quality. To attain one of these awards a beach, marina or tourism boat operator must meet and maintain the highest environmental standards and achieve tough water quality targets.

The Blue Flag is one of the world’s most recognised voluntary awards for beaches, marinas, and boat tourism operators. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained.

The Seaside Award is the national standard for the best beaches across the UK. The award recognises clean, attractive and well managed stretches of coastline.

The Green Coast Award recognises the beautiful, untouched, rugged beaches that line so much of our coast. They may not have the facilities of more traditional seaside resorts, but Green Coast Award beaches have excellent water quality and are held to high environmental standards.
