Shell Beach Green Flag
La Conchiglia Beach in San Vincenzo is recommended by the paediatricians' association of OK Health.
This is a prestigious award established in 2008, dedicated to the best beaches for family-friendly stays.
This award was created to highlight coastal locations that offer services and infrastructure specifically designed for families with children, ensuring a pleasant and safe holiday experience for everyone. The beaches that receive this important recognition stand out for their hospitality and attentiveness to the needs of families.
The rankings are compiled by paediatricians, who have gathered and collaborated under the initiative of "Ok Salute".
This project aims to assess and rank various aspects of child health, providing important insights for families. The recipe for achieving the Green Flag, while fairly straightforward in terms of the requirements, is not equally easy to attain.
In fact, seaside resorts, in order to boast this prestigious recognition, must simultaneously meet certain fundamental criteria.
In reality, they offer more than just crystal-clear water, ample relaxation spaces, constant beach cleanliness, competent lifeguard services, and facilities dedicated to children and families. Additionally, it is essential to have suitable play areas for younger children and, of course, shallow water near the shore to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all swimmers.
However, in relation to the Blue Flag, which certainly helps significantly in obtaining the Green Flag, there are no spontaneous applications to propose.
Before the start of the summer season, a much-anticipated special ceremony is organised, during which the best Italian beaches for children are announced. This prestigious title is awarded after a series of national and international medical conferences, which delve into various topics related to children's health and well-being during summer activities at the beach.
The results of these congresses are also published in multilingual scientific journals, thereby contributing not only to disseminating valuable information but also to ensuring that the choices made are supported by solid and internationally recognised scientific evidence.
This process is essential to ensure that families can choose the most suitable and safe locations for their children, in accordance with various established quality standards.
On the Conchiglia Sventola beach, the Green Flag flies, a recognition intended to indicate a beach ideal for families and, in particular, for young children.
