on the Isle of Wight AS our golden sands were voted tops again this year. Te Island bagged 14 accolades in the prestigious Blue
Flag and Quality Coast Awards. It won more awards than any other area in the south east. Te beaches recognised were Shanklin, Sandown, Ventnor, Colwell, Cowes, East Cowes, Gurnard, Seagrove, Springvale, Totland and Yaverland. Tey scored highly in categories including high water quality and low litter levels. George Brown, IW Council Cabinet member
responsible for tourism, said: “Tis confirms that the Isle of Wight is the number one resort in the south east for award winning beaches, with over four times as many winning beaches than areas like Brighton & Hove and Arun. “Tis is very good news for the Island and I am sure potential visitors and holidaymakers will be very impressed by the sheer number of awards.” John Metcalfe, Isle of Wight Council Deputy Director
for Economy, Tourism and Leisure added: “A lot of people have played their part in this success, because although the council carries out beach cleaning on a regular basis, there are a great many residents and local groups who take pride in their beaches and nearby areas and also do their bit in helping to maintain them. Te annual awards are run by Keep Britain Tidy.
