The City of Cape Town’s Recreation and Parks Department has announced eight of its beaches, including Bikini Beach in Gordon’s Bay, have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag status for the 2024-’25 season. This international recognition is given to beaches that meet high standards of environmental management, water quality, safety, services and environmental education. The Blue Flag programme promotes sustainable development at beaches through strict criteria, ensuring the integrity of marine and coastal resources. The Blue Flag season will run from 1 December 2024 to 31 January 2025. In this period beachgoers at Bikini Beach can expect pristine coastal conditions, weekly tested sea-water quality, well-maintained facilities and enhanced safety measures, including lifeguards on duty and prominently displayed safety information. The City will also roll educational initiatives out, such as drowning-prevention campaigns and learn-to-swim programmes, to promote water safety. This recognition highlights the City’s commitment to maintaining safe, clean and accessible coastal spaces, and encourages responsible enjoyment of the beaches.Photo: Jamey Gordon
