The internationally recognised Blue Flag programme is an eco-award given to beaches that meet strict standards of excellence in safety, cleanliness, provision of amenities, environmental information and management.
Marina, Trafalgar, Southport, Umzumbe, Ramsgate, and Hibberdene beaches – all in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality – will remain Blue Flag beaches for the 2022/2023 season.
This is not only the highest number in KZN, but two of these have been noted for their longevity in the programme – Marina beach for 21 consecutive years and Trafalgar beach for 11 consecutive years.
In addition to these, five beaches have been awarded pilot Blue Flag status at Pennington, Rocky Bay, Preston and Umthwalume in Umdoni Municipality, as well as St Mike’s beach in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality.
