Summary
Irelands beaches and marinas shine with Blue Flags, with 85 beaches and 9 marinas earning the distinction for 2026. Duncannon Beach in Wexford and Bunmahon in Waterford reclaim their flags, while Skellig Bounty boat from Valentia Island in Kerry becomes the first vessel to earn a Blue Flag. Kerry leads with the most flags, and Cork dominates Green Coast Awards. However, six beaches miss out, including Lahinch in Clare and Fountainstown in Cork, dropping from excellent to good ratings. Irelands 73 Green Coasts keep pace with global standards, promising more pristine swims ahead. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
