2022-23 Blue Flag Beaches – 33 are in Cape Town and Western Cape, in the official list of 51 Blue Flag beaches for the period published by the Wildlife & Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA)..
The Blue Flag programme is focused on the conservation of marine and coastal habitats and is designed to raise environmental education and awareness and increase sound environmental practices among tourists, local populations and beach management.
- The iconic Blue Flag is one of the world’s most recognised voluntary eco-labels awarded to beaches, marinas, and sustainable boating tourism operators.
In South Africa, Blue Flag has been operational since 2001 and has proud municipal, marina and tourism boat partners in 18 coastal municipalities around the country.
Blue Flag is voluntary, which shows a very strong commitment to environmental sustainability from those municipalities, marinas and tour boat operators that are awarded annually. All properties and companies that apply for the Blue Flag award are assessed by a South African National Jury as well as by the Blue Flag International Jury in Europe.
