Three East Lindsey beaches have been recognised as amongst Britain’s best, as they are announced as winners of the prestigious Blue Flag and Seaside Awards for summer 2025.

 

Entering its 38th year, the international award is given by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, recognising beaches and sites that have met the high standard required to be presented with a Blue Flag Award, which in East Lindsey are:

 

 

 

 

Blue Flag, the world’s most recognised award for beaches and marinas, is an environmental education programme managed by Keep Britain Tidy on behalf of the Foundation for Environmental Education.

 

It is only presented to beaches with water which has achieved the highest classification as set by the EU Bathing Water Directive and has an environmental education programme, and, to qualify, each applicant must meet and maintain a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety and accessibility criteria.

 

Cllr Martin Foster, Portfolio Holder for Operational Services at East Lindsey District Council said, “We are absolutely delighted that Mablethorpe, Skegness, and Sutton on Sea have once again been recognised with Blue Flag Awards.

 

“It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our local teams, volunteers, and communities who take such pride in our coastline and shows how much effort goes into keeping our beaches clean, safe, and welcoming.

 

“These awards not only highlight the exceptional quality and cleanliness of our beaches but also reinforce East Lindsey as a top destination for residents and visitors.”

 

Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE said: “In England we are lucky enough to have some of the best beaches in the world. It’s wonderful to see the flags flying proudly over 3 beaches in East Lindsey, demonstrating their quality to residents and visitors alike.

 

“The awards are a credit to the collective efforts of beach and site managers, volunteers, residents and businesses who should take pride today in their tireless efforts to maintain, protect and improve some of our best-loved and most popular blue spaces.

 

“Visitors to a beach flying a Blue Flag can be assured the beach will be clean, safe and meet the highest environmental standards.”

 

The Blue Flag and Seaside Awards are aimed at improving the quality of England’s coastline and promoting the country’s best beaches.
