Pennington and Rocky Bay beaches have just earned themselves a Blue Flag Pilot Status.

This means Umdoni is a step closer to attaining a full Blue Flag Status which requires these two beaches to be fully compliant with international beach standards.

Umdoni mayor Sibongile Khathi mentioned that a Blue Flag beach will boost the area’s tourism and be a marketing tool as well as a management tool for beaches. “There is a lot of hard work to be done, but we want to make all Umdoni beaches reach this pilot status and eventually earn the full Blue Flag Status,” she said.
