Blue Flag Awards

31 October 2025, Port Alfred

We’re thrilled to celebrate this year’s Blue Flag Awards, proudly hosted right here in Port Alfred on the beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Congratulations to all the 2025/26 Blue Flag recipients for their dedication to keeping South Africa’s beaches and marinas world-class. A special salute goes to Kelly’s Beach, marking an incredible 20 consecutive Blue Flag seasons, and to our own Royal Alfred Marina, continuing to fly the flag for excellence, maintaining high standards of environmental management, safety, service and education.

Our thanks to WESSA (the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa) for their continued leadership in championing sustainable coastal management and recognizing the communities that care deeply for our shared natural heritage.
