The 5 Blue Flag beaches on the Breton Riviera

The Blue Flag is an international environmental label awarded each year to beaches and marinas committed to environmental protection and sustainable tourism. Created in France in 1985, it is now present in over 50 countries around the world.

To obtain this label, sites must meet a number of criteria, including

• Excellent bathing water quality, checked several times during the season.
• Clean beaches and appropriate facilities (recycling bins, toilets).
• Safety and accessibility for all.
• Environmental education and nature conservation initiatives.

For families, choosing a Blue Flag beach or harbour means enjoying a clean, safe and environmentally-friendly place, where water quality and waste management are a priority. It’s also an opportunity for young and old to learn more about protecting nature, while enjoying a great holiday.

On the Breton Riviera, you can enjoy 5 Blue Flag beaches:

• Fouesnant: Maner Coat Clevarec (known as Renouveau), Cap-Coz, Kerler and Kerambigorn
• Bénodet: Trez beach
