Blue Flag Beaches in Anglesey
Six famous Anglesey beaches have gained prestigious Blue Flag awards for 2015 to rank them among the world’s best for water quality and to ensure that they are among the best family-friendly beaches in Britain.
The blue flag award is issued by the Foundation for Environmental Education which rates beaches on safety, facilities and environmental management as well as water quality. Beaches are assessed on 33 criteria on an annual basis to ensure that they maintain their standard from year to year. This prestigious international award is managed in Wales by the environmental charity Keep Wales Tidy and shows that Welsh beaches are “amongst the world’s best” according to the Welsh Natural Resources Minister Carl Sargeant.
Benllech, Church Bay, Llanddona, Porth Dafarch, Llanddwyn and Trearddur Bay have achieved blue flag status on Anglesey this year.
