This is an esteemed award that was established in the year 2008, aimed at recognizing the best beaches that offer a child-friendly environment for families seeking a pleasant stay, which in Anglo-Saxon terminology is often referred to as family friendly. The process of creating this particular ranking involves the expertise of pediatricians, who collaborate on this initiative, driven by the mission of a leading and reputable medical journal.
The blue flag proudly flies on Conchiglia beach, a significant fact that symbolizes the beach's commitment to maintaining high environmental and quality standards. This achievement reflects the dedicated efforts of the local community and authorities in ensuring that the beach remains a clean, safe, and welcoming destination for all visitors.
Although the recipe for winning the prestigious green flag is quite basic in its requirements, it is certainly not an easy feat to obtain it. In fact, beach resorts must simultaneously meet a range of specific requirements such as; pristine, crystal clear water that is visually appealing, expansive wide spaces for relaxation and recreation, rigorous cleanliness of the beach, which includes regular maintenance and waste management, as well as essential surveillance services that ensure the safety of all visitors. Additionally, there must be dedicated services for children and families, including a variety of engaging games and activities, and of course, shallow water near the shore that is safe for young swimmers and families alike.
However, compared to the blue flag, which obviously helps in no small way in obtaining the prestigious green banner as well, there are unfortunately no spontaneous applications that can be proposed to facilitate this process. Before the commencement of the summer season each year, a special ceremony is meticulously organized in which the best Italian beaches for children are proudly announced. This coveted title is a result of dedicated research and careful assessments, which are arrived at after a series of national and international medical congresses. The findings and outcomes of these congresses, along with valuable insights, are also meticulously published in multilingual scientific journals to reach a broader audience and educate stakeholders on the significance of these awards.
San Vincenzo is not only a beautiful coastal town but also holds the prestigious titles of Blue Flag and Green Flag, indicators of its high environmental quality and excellent services for tourists.
