Blue Flag beaches 2026

The Blue Flag is the annual ADEAC/FEE award: it requires excellent water quality throughout the season (directive 2006/7/EC), lifeguarding and audited services. These are the beaches in our catalogue holding it for the 2026 season, each verified against ADEAC's official 2026-2027 list.
