Known for its stunning, award-winning beaches, Portugal has continually claimed top spots in award lists, and this year is no different. The European tourist hotspot has a record 440 Blue Flag<\/a> beaches, marinas and boats in 2024, adding 8 more from last year. According to the European Blue Flag Association, this makes it the second country in the world with the highest number of award-winning river beaches.<\/p>\n

In an announcement by Jos\u00e9 Archer, the president of the European Blue Flag Association, Portugal has 398 beaches across 103 municipalities. This comes as the next bathing season approaches, and beach lovers get ready to enjoy summer\u2019s best in the water.<\/p>\n

A beach is designated as \u2018Blue Flag\u2019 if it complies with certain criteria. This includes space, water quality, safety, services, surveillance and people\u2019s environmental awareness. The increase in the number of Blue Flag beaches in the region has been welcomed as \u2018good news\u2019 for the country\u2019s tourism sector.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Archer also noted Portugal\u2019s numerous inland beaches whose number continues to grow. \u2018Portugal stands out enormously in terms of its inland beaches. We are, worldwide, the second country with the most inland [river] beaches, with 49, more than double that of Spain and Italy, a number that deserves to be highlighted\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n
