Morecambe’s two beaches have been recognised with a national award for excellence.
Keep Britain Tidy has announced the winners of the Seaside Awards for 2023.
Across the North-West, eleven beaches and one marina have been presented with awards recognising the quality of the sites, the way they are managed and the facilities they offer to visitors.
Morecambe North and Morecambe South have both been announced as the winner of a Seaside Award.
St Annes Pier, Ferry Beach, Fleetwood, Marine Beach, Fleetwood, Jubilee Beach, Cleveleys, Rossall Beach, Bispham, Allonby Blackpool Central and Blackpool South have also been named.
The Blue Flag and Seaside Awards are aimed at improving the quality of England’s coastline and promoting the country’s best beaches.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Chief Executive, Allison Ogden-Newton OBE said: “The success of these beaches in reaching the very high standards demanded is testament to all those who have worked so hard to protect and improve our blue spaces – from beach managers and volunteers to local residents and businesses. The huge commitment needed to maintain marvellous beaches worthy of these awards cannot be underestimated.
“People who visit a beach flying a Blue Flag or Seaside Award can be assured the beach will be clean, safe and meet the highest environmental standards, as well as international bathing water quality standards.”
