Statement from Teignmouth District Council:
Quality of our beaches recognised
Five of our beaches have been recognised for their quality in the prestigious annual Keep Britain Tidy Blue Flag and Seaside Awards for Summer 2022.
Dawlish Warren received the highest recognition with the internationally recognised Blue Flag award and Dawlish, Coryton Cove, Ness Cove and Teignmouth Town received the coveted Seaside Award.
Both awards are aimed at improving the quality of England’s coastline and promoting the country’s best beaches which are assessed for safety and services; environmental information and management; and water quality.
The awards mean that visitors to beaches flying a Blue Flag or Seaside Award can be confident that they will be clean, safe and meet environmental and water quality standards.
