Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards

Nov 6, 2024 | Events

WESSA wrapped up the 2024/2025 Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards at V&A Waterfront, celebrating South Africa’s best in coastal conservation.

The Blue Flag programme acknowledged beaches, marinas, and tourism boats that met strict global standards, while Green Coast honoured hidden gems where local communities lead the way in protecting biodiversity and promoting nature-based eco-tourism. A massive thank you to our partners, municipalities, and the passionate community leaders who make this possible.
