Mossel Bay Boasts 5 Blue Flag Beaches

Mossel Bay Municipality says it is proud to announce that the greater Mossel Bay boasts 5 Blue Flag beaches for the 2019/2020 summer season.

Mossel Bay Municipality is the only municipality in the Garden Route that received Blue Flag Beach Awards this year.

Also, the prestigious Glentana Beach, which was a Blue Flag pilot project last year, was awarded the coveted full Blue Flag beach status during an official function yesterday at the Waterfront in Cape Town.

Mossel Bay Municipality will soon announce the exact Blue Flag beach season, but in the meantime residents and holidaymakers can rest assured, they say, that Santos Beach, De Bakke, Hartenbosstrand and Klein Brak River Beach can once again boast Blue Flag status.

The portfolio chairperson for Planning & Economic Development, Alderman Cliffie Bayman and director Carel Venter were in Cape Town when the Blue Flag awards were announced today.

The Blue Flag is a certification by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) that a beach, marina, or sustainable boating tourism operator meets its stringent standards. Certificates, which FEE refers to as awards, are issued on an annual basis.
