Blue Flag and bathing water quality standards

Blue Flag

In 2024, Anglet’s 8 supervised beaches were awarded the Blue Flag. This international certification rewards the town’s commitment to sustainable tourism. The label takes into account the quality of bathing water, urban water treatment, the collective sanitation system, household waste treatment, accessibility for people with reduced mobility, signage and environmental education.

Bathing water quality

On July 28, 2021, the town received renewal of its “Démarche qualité des eaux de baignade” certification for the eight beaches under the supervision of the coastal lifeguards. It is awarded for three years by AES certification, and is subject to an annual surveillance audit. This label, created by the French Ministry of the Environment, rewards the local authority for all the real-time monitoring and information systems put in place to protect the health of bathers. For Anglet, bathing water quality represents a major ecological and tourism issue. It has held this certification since June 2017.

Quality of Anglet’s bathing waters

Tiralo

For several years now, the Petite Chambre d’Amour beach has been awarded the Handiplage label, thanks to a special system enabling disabled people to swim in complete safety. A platform topped by a pergola allows users to park at the beach entrance. Access to the bathing area is then facilitated by a special mat installed on the sand.

The swim is aboard a Tiralo. This beach chair, designed for people with reduced mobility, can both roll on the ground and float on the water. It moves easily on all types of ground, sand or pebbles.

People with reduced mobility can also take advantage of a 20 m² shaded platform directly on the sand, with their own wheelchair. At the rear of the first-aid post, adapted sanitary facilities are available.
