Eight Cape Town beaches were awarded Blue Flag status


If beaches have Blue Flag status, that means they are clean, safe and secure, and adhere to international safety and tourism standards.

"Having Blue Flag beaches and marinas is a significant tourism draw-card, because international visitors know what to expect when visiting a Blue Flag beach or marina."

The city said Cape Town had the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in the country.

The Blue Flag is awarded annually to over 3650 beaches and marinas in 44 countries across Europe, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada, and the Caribbean.

The eight beaches granted Blue Flag status are as follows:

Bikini
Mnandi
Strandfontein
Muizenberg
Llandudno
Camps Bay
Clifton 4th
Silwerstroomstrand


The two marinas that got Blue Flag status are Granger Bay Water Club and the False Bay Marina.
