Golden Sands Beach and Port-na-Napoule receive the international Blue Flag status. This is the first mark for Mandelieu-La Napoule, which sees the Golden Sands beach get special status. Port la Napoule, for its part, has resumed reconstruction and renovation. Established in 1985, this label is presented every year and rewards candidates for good environmental, waste and water management. The provision of the label implies that municipalities and ports must scrupulously fulfill a number of criteria.
For beaches, “excellent” bathing water with five control fences per season, drinking water point, garbage bins on the beach, selective sorting of at least three types of waste – paper, plastic or glass – with a recycling and conservation policy. The Pavillon Bleu 2017 award reflects the will of the French coastal and inland communities to promote the sustainable development of tourism on their territory.
In 2017, French and international Blue Pavilion juries retained 173 winners in municipalities in France, with a total of 390 beaches and 102 marinas. In the Alpes-Maritimes, 34 beaches were marked.
