Pembrokeshire National Park boasts some of the most stunning and diverse coastlines in the UK, and the Wales Coast Awards play an important role in protecting the marine environment by managing the Blue Flag and Green Coast Awards. To attain one of these prestigious awards, a beach must meet and maintain the highest environmental standards and achieve tough water quality targets.
