Clean bathing water, good sanitary provisions and a large amount of safety belong to the conditions which are taken into consideration for awarding the quality mark. This year there have been awarded 140 Blue Flags in theNetherlands. The representatives of these selected beaches and marinas have put symbolically a flag in a sand sculpture of theNetherlands, there where their own beach or marina is situated.
