Flying the flag for Denbighshire’s beaches

Three of Denbighshire’s beaches have kept their prestigious status with the Keep Wales Tidy campaign, providing a boost to coastal tourism in the county in the run up to the summer months.

The prestigious Blue Flag honour has been retained by Prestatyn. Rhyl Central and Rhyl East beaches both kept their Seaside Awards in this year’s coastal awards.

Marine Lake in Rhyl has also retained its Green Coast Award.

Councillor Huw Jones, Cabinet Lead Member for Leisure, Tourism and Youth, said: “We are delighted at the news that our beaches in Denbighshire have kept their status and they deserve industry recognition for their quality.

“We are constantly working hard with our partners to protect and maintain our beaches, as they attract so many people to want to spend time in the county and experience coastal tourism at its best.”
