However, Vietnamese resorts are still far from becoming leaders in the ranking. Thus, the first place in this world is Spain, which has 579 beaches surrounded by towns. On the other is Greece (485 beaches). France (390 beaches) closes the top three. Ten also included Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and Croatia.


The international city, which has been since 1987, has been proudly presenting beaches and piers with water that meets high standards of cleanliness and is suitable for safe swimming. France is respected by Fatherlandism of the Blakytny Ensign, since it was first celebrated in 1985.


Beach "Yantarny" near the Kaliningrad region

Many cautions show that people value it better to live on clean sand and swim in clean water. This particularity was first appreciated by the French and in 1985 they issued a certificate What are the beaches? in sight black ensign. Yogo was named that way.

Since 1987, Europe, especially the EU, was soon unable to resist French fashion and came to the program Blue ensign.
In 2001, the whole world followed Europe and now the program will take the fate of 47 countries (49 countries were on the verge of 2016). Cream beaches program to evaluate marinas (moorings for boats and yachts) and vessels.

The program is run by the international Federation of Environmental Education - FEO (Foundation for Environmental Education - FEE). Only you have the right to see. Marina or the ship takes away the ensign for one river, and the beach for the swimming season of one river. Through the river, all the stinks may reaffirm their right to hang the flag. Renewal hour certificates black ensign The Pivnichnya pivkuli has a side of the grass - on the cob of the worm.

The city of Blakytny Prapor is proudly awarded to the cleanest and shortest beaches since 1987. From now on, the international certification program will take part in almost all corners of the world. The city has become even more prestigious. This drives the tourist attraction not only of the hotel with a private beach that Blakytny Prapor has, but also of the resort.

Environmental Lighting Foundation

The organizer of the international beach certification program is the Environmental Lighting Foundation. Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). The headquarters is located near the capital of Denmark. President Jan Eriksen is intensively developing and expanding his activities.

This non-profit organization is engaged not only in the control and testing of water and coastlines of resorts. The main mission of spivrobotniks is to teach us ahead of lighting program. The stinks are beginning to destroy not only the natural environment, but also the people who live on its territory. Protecting nature is also the responsibility of organizations that remove income from ecosystems (resorts, hotels, bases, etc.). It is their responsibility to realize that the zones are fundamentally lying behind them and they are not to blame for suffering from the irrational exploitation of nature.

Ecostandards program

In 46 countries around the world there are approximately 4,500 beaches, bays and yacht anchorages marked with the Blakytny Prapor sign. This means that in the area there is sufficient water capacity, ideal conditions dovkilla near the coastal zone, high rhubarb be safe. The environmental standards program is directly aimed at protecting nature. She promotes the interests of tourists and local residents in the right to choose and live in a comfortable environment without jeopardizing their health and life.

You can look at the map of the world (created by the Foundation), which shows all the beaches designated by Blakytny Prapor. It is clear that the main part of it is located in Europe. There are a significant number of such signs of jacuzzi in the regions of the Caribbean and in Africa.

Don't talk about those who garni beaches less so in Europe. It’s just that other countries are quite attracted to programs and resorts, but it’s a pity that it simply doesn’t suit anyone’s needs. On the right is that initially the program of international certification of beaches was called European and operated only on a separate territory. Since 2001, the city has gained international status and began to be assigned to other continents. Pivdennaya Africa was the first to be eaten until the program of Dovkill's destruction.

Eco-friendly brand - Blue Flag

This brand is known all over the world and is trusted by millions of people all over the planet. Applicants for this prestigious city are obliged to take strict environmental and environmental protection measures, to strive for and maintain the criteria for the safety of the territory. It’s important to make use of eco-friendly textiles.

Yakshto mi bachimo Blakitny Prapor on the beach, what does that mean? This means that the resort may carry out information work with the population so that residents know more about the flora and fauna and are better oriented towards locality. To ensure safety at the resort, you must settle in smoothly to protect the environment, tourists and travelers. This monitoring involves regular sampling and comprehensive testing of coastlines and water. There is a range of consistency and non-compliance with the environmental standard of Blakytny Prapor. For another guy, the beach is pampered by the city.

To select programs, select local organizations, which may follow the guaranteed uniformity of the standard.

What is the beach with the Blue Ensign?

This territory has free access (entrance) and blamed infrastructure. Obov'yazkova is the presence of a team of warriors on the beach, a medical center with all the minds of the given unprofitable medical assistance. For the convenience of residents, there are equipped toilets and showers, access to clean drinking water. Obv'yazkova presence of mitigation, limiting access to the beach of domestic and outdoor animals, motor vehicles.


Water should always be checked regularly to check for contamination and the presence of harmful microorganisms, such as coliforms. The sand is obliged to cleanse itself for the sake of the extraction of the great and great smith. In other words, the beach at Blakytny Prapor is an ideal place for a safe getaway.

Corporate partners

This is a great international measure of those who work with the Blakytny Prapor Fund or Enclosures. More than 2,300 hotels and bases under construction, 4,150 beaches and ship moorings in 73 countries of the planet are brought to the attention of global partners who are seeking mutual benefits from FEE.


To be nominated, you must provide information about yourself on the site. The international jury is considering the two candidates for the river: the middle-classes Pivnichna Pivkulya for Kvitna, and Pivdennaya for Veresna. “There is nothing important for us, nothing less,” say those who select the candidates. There are 5 chernias and 1 leaf fall every day. Berths and main stations have a sign for one river, and the beach cleanliness certificate is valid for one season. The next fate to the city is confirmed.

Regional leaders 2017

The cleanest beaches with clear water, as the city of Blakytnyi Prapor strongly confirms, are located in Spain, Greece and Turkey. Spanish costas have long been at the top of this list. Over 500 beaches in this region (including skin areas) have high levels of safety and cleanliness. Middle of Greek beaches high step The clarity of water is mostly explored on the island of Crete. In Turkey, such beaches can be found in the resorts of Fethiye, Antalya, Bodrum and Kemer.


The undisputed leaders are the French Riviera, Italian, Portuguese, Danish beaches, coastal areas of Croatia, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

What kind of information is covered behind the color of the ensign?

In some countries you can find a red flag on the coastline. This symbol means a fence around the entrance to the water. In this case, there may be clean sand and a perfectly calm sea surface. When being guarded, it is necessary to show respect and not go into the water alone. Chervony ensigns should be placed in places where attacks on people by sharks, alligators and other giants are prevented. Here, the strongest tides can begin uncontrollably or tides that pull tourists who swim far out to sea. You can spend your confidence in the world, cunning searches, etc.

Many tourists who come to Vietnam rejoice, walking on the beaches of the blue and wandering from the blue. In fact, the blue ensign, often knitted, testifies to the battle at sea.

The green and white grounds allow for bathing. On US beaches you can often see purple flags - a sign that there are toxic jellyfish in the water. Still in the states they install ensigns that dangle black circles against a yellow background. This symbol stands for great quantity divers near the water, in order to avoid injury to the swimmers, while wearing uniforms.

Beaches of Russia

It is important for Russian tourists to see either the sign “Swimming is blocked” or their absence on the beaches of our country. In another situation, everyone runs bravely towards the water. On the more refined and modern beaches of Russia, which are often the private territory of hotels, you can find dark or black (rarely brown) colors. What does this mean? The bright ensign on the beach (as stated) is a guarantee of the safety and cleanliness of the territory. The presence of the yellow ensign means that a military command is guarding the territory. You can swim, but there are risks of tides, storms, strong currents in the river, etc. The Black Ensign is completely protected by a bathing area. Brown - ahead of the strong level of cloudy water, which can lead to bad health.

Russian pride - Masandrivsky and Burshtynovy beaches

In 2017, two beaches appeared in our region, such as Blakytny Prapor. With full, or even sure steps, we are approaching the bright end.

Masandrivsky beach is located in Yalta (Pivdennaya uzberezhja Krimu). Vіn has long been respected by the largest coastal zone in the area (including for people with limited abilities), which is due to the re-enclosure. There is a swimming pool with running water, a children's and sports square, a walking area, a cafe and a restaurant, toilets, showers and septic tanks. The territory, approximately 500 m long, is divided into 6 sectors by vineyards. The safety of those who swim is controlled by a brigade of guards.


Another river now confirms the town of Blakytny ensign to the beach "Shakhta Anna" near the village of Burshtynovy, Kaliningrad region. This place is increasingly affected by the troubled coastal zones of Zelenogirsk and Baltiysk. Opposite the beach there is a promenade where many happy people walk with carriages. The wide area is fortified with small sandy dunes and a small lake. There is also a children's beach area with playgrounds and a lagoon for bathing children with little depth.

“Anna Mine” is a mining territory and a place where burshtin was mined in the pre-war years. Many tourists claim that if you go to the shores of the beach for a long time, you can find a small fire-yellow stone that warms the sun.

Instead, I would like to reiterate that there are a great number of recreational resources on the territory of our region. The beach camp, as a part of these resources, is rich in what lies among the population. You can clean the banks of the river or sea 10 times a day, and place smudge tanks on the skin. It’s not clean here, where you tidy up, but where you don’t clean it up.

Many cautions show that people value it better to live on clean sand and swim in clean water. This particularity was first appreciated by the French and in 1985 they issued a certificate What are the beaches? in sight black ensign. Yogo was named that way.

Since 1987, Europe, especially the EU, was soon unable to resist French fashion and came to the program Blue ensign.
In 2001, Europe followed the whole world and now the program for the beginning of 2016 will have the same fate as 47 countries (49 countries were born at the beginning of 2016).
Cream beaches program to evaluate marinas (moorings for boats and yachts) and vessels.

Renewal hour certificates black ensign At the Pivnichnya pivkuli, the edge of the grass is close to the cob of the worm. For the New Year's Eve and the edge of the Caribbean, approximately 1 leaf fall is expected.

This list can be continued, all fragments є 29 criteria for evaluating beaches. The norms embedded in them are even harsh and there is a looming tendency to become stronger over time. You can find more information about the program on the website of the Blakytny Prapor program.

We, forgive the rest, have no need to go through all the subtle programs. It's enough to know Blue Ensign on the beach this is a reliable indicator and guarantor great value beach fix.

And in conclusion, this is absolutely non-commercial, and I would like to say something about it.

How can I spare you and you prefer to beaches, already awarded black ensign Try to deprive him of the same purity as your wine!

Among the regions, the largest number are in Wales (33 beaches). Equalized in 2012 by the fate of the “Black Ensigns” in this part of Great Britain, it was replaced by 10 years ago, having seen the waters, which badly appeared on the surface of the water.

10. Ireland


Ireland is a little ahead of Great Britain: there are 70 beaches from the “Blanket Ensigns”. Most of them (19) are located in the western part of the country, in the province of Connacht, in the two counties of Galway and Mayo. These beaches are rare in Ireland and do not attract many foreigners, as, for example, at the end of Liguria and the Black Sea Coast.

Burshtinovy ​​and Masandra is where you need to go and relax on the beach. There, according to international experts of the Blue Flag award, there are the best beach areas in Russia. Rashta of Russian beaches, go out, g***o?
Considering the rating of such a large number of beaches according to the light standard in other countries, it is striking that their number is so small in Russia. There are already 10 such beaches in/in Ukraine (!!!).

Before the speech, according to the official data of the award, the beach near the village of Yantarny (Kalingrad region) is the only one in Russia, awarded this prestigious sign of beauty, and Masandra is respected in Europe by the Ukrainians (his first Blakytsky ancestor Since then, the Massandrivsky beach near Yalta has been abandoned since 2010, and in this regard I confirmed it shortly).


The three leaders of the world's beach top are: Spain (579 beaches), Greece (485 beaches) and Turkey (454 beaches). Also finishing in the top 10 were France (390), Italy (342), Portugal (320), Denmark (225), Croatia (99), Ireland (81) and England (68). Zagalom has 43 countries with 3662 beaches. Yacht marinas and main stations in Russia are strictly assessed on these lists. To equalize: in Ukraine there are beaches from Blakytnyi ensign 10 - near Kiev and Odessa.


Blue Flag - highest standard sinks for beaches To raise it above the coastal zone, the lack of one supply and clean water requires infrastructure. The International Commission certifies the place according to 33 criteria, and benefits increase with skin cancer. The main ones are:
access to Vilniy beach;
the water is clean and tested;
The mud is collected and the sand is cleaned at the end of the day;
There are rituals on the beaches;
Inconvenient help is available in the area;
є shower cabins;
Motor vehicles are not allowed on the beach;
domestic critters feast on another beach.
In fact, Blue Flag is an environmental program based on the importance of protected ecosystems, natural phenomena and biological diversity.


What do you miss about Masandrivskogo beach?
He himself became the first volunteer of the Blakytny ensign in the “Russian” countries. Kolyshny SRSR(Phrase from Blue Flag release). Moreover, it is respected by the shortest beach in Yalta and the entire PBK for disabled people.
Dovzhina beach complex Masandrivsky 460 m. There are divisions with concrete roofs in this sector: with free access and VIP zones from 8 to 10 euros. On the beach there are a number of cafes and restaurants, a sports club, a children's playground, a swimming pool with running water, a shower and a toilet.
The territory of the beach has been expanded beyond the rakhunok vikoristannya so-called “teras” - special buds, built over the groins. Part of it is given over to areas for sunbathing, part for walking, and service for cafes is organized in some areas.


The beach is pebble, and you can reach the water via specially equipped wooden paths. The entrance to the territory is without cats. Sun loungers, parasols and other equipment are available for an additional fee. There is a place for Kurts


Before speaking, Masandrovsky is not the only one among Krim, who raised the black ensign to the ensign. Similar to the city in 2013 and 2014, having taken away the beach of the Aquamarine Hotel near Sevastopol, but... everything flows, everything changes, whoever spends, and whoever wants to know, and the ensigns are passed on to the greatest.


Officially, the first in Russia to the city of Blakitny Prapor in 2016 was taken away (and this was confirmed) by the coastal zone in the village of Burshtinovy, Kaliningrad region - the nourished beach “Mine Anna”.


Until recently, a wooden place with overlooking Maidans. The length of the beach complex is approximately 500 m. Electricity, water supply, sewerage, changing cabins and toilets have been installed in the repair area.


Beach with souls and taps drinking water. In addition, children's and sports maidans have been installed. Behind the dunes on the lake there is a bathing area for children. For a small fee you can rent parasols and comfortable sunbeds different types and price categories. There are several cafes and restaurants on the beach. The post of military personnel is provided by the police, emergency services and the administration of the village.


And why, in all of Russia, there is no one else and there is no reason to equip the resorts for a NORMAL recovery? And even on these beaches they don’t give out diamonds or UFOs land - that’s all people expect, but they themselves do, and don’t run around looking for water or the toilet.

Blue Flag - international city, since 1987. The Fund for Environmental Lighting (FEE) is proudly donated by a non-profit organization. The Fatherland Prize is respected by France, which was first awarded in 1985.
The black ensign is awarded to the beach for one swimming season. Through the river, the coastal area can again bring a high level of service. The hour for renewing the certificates of the black flag at Pivnichny Pivkul quickly touches the grass - on the cob of the worm.
