An Italian beach

Beaches along the Mediterranean Sea are among the most beautiful in the world and many of the best ones can be found on the shores of Italy. Many of these beaches have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag Award, which is given to the most eco-friendly beaches and marinas in the world. One hundred and thirteen of Italy's beaches have been given this award in recognition of their clean waters and safe bathing areas.

3) Environmental Management
4) Safety and Services

Blue Flags are awarded once per season. For more information go to www.blueflag.org beach criteria
