Malta has 11 new beaches flying the Blue Fag for 2020, which means they are beaches of high standard including water quality, educational facilities, safety-related and access-related equipment and standards.
The foundation remarked “having the Blue Flag waving is an assurance that the sites are safe and in compliance with the national regulation. For this, we need to keep our standards high and not compromise on quality”.
Every year Malta and Cyprus compete for the top two positions of the best quality water on Europe, with the two countries standing unrivalled every year, but frequently changing positions in the first and second place.
