Despite tougher standards this year, our nearest seaside towns have held on to their Blue Flag awards.  Cromer (below) and Sheringham have been awarded the coveted Blue Flag, while further afield, Hunstanton and East Runton have been awarded the new Seaside Award.

While not all of our ‘wild’ beaches share the same facilities (toilets, lifeguards, etc.) they do of course share the same clean water.
