South Africa has awarded 48 beaches the prestigious Blue Flag eco-label for the 2024/2025 season, recognizing their commitment to environmental sustainability and water quality.
South Africa ’s new list of Blue Flag beaches for the 2024/2025 season showcases 48 beautiful beaches to explore over the summer. The Blue Flag is one of the world’s most recognised voluntary eco-labels awarded to beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating tourism operators. The programme uses 33 criteria across four categories to determine whether a beach meets the requirements for recognition.
In addition to the beaches, four marinas and seven tourism boats were also recognised and were awarded the eco-label. Seven sites were awarded Green Coast status – these being community-driven coastal conservation areas of high biodiversity and eco-tourism value that appeal to people seeking adventure and nature-based experiences. This year’s awards also acknowledged the efforts of 18 pilot beaches, highlighting their progress in striving for Blue Flag status.
