The Prestigious Blue Flag 

The Foundation for Environmental Excellence (FFE) started the Blue Flag program in 1987.

Over 5000 beaches, marinas, and tourism boats have been given this recognition in over 50 countries worldwide.

The renowned Blue Flag stands as one of the globe’s most distinguished voluntary honors, celebrating excellence in beaches, marinas, and environmentally responsible tourist vessels.

Earning the esteemed Blue Flag is a testament to successfully meeting and upholding a list of standards.

These include environmental stewardship, educational initiatives, safety protocols, and inclusive accessibility measures. 

Redefining Beach Excellence 

For beach enthusiasts, the Blue Flag Award is the ultimate seal of approval.

It is a global benchmark for environmental sustainability, water quality, and beach safety.  

And now, Puerto Vallarta has its own share of beaches that meet these high standards, thanks to the dedication of the Sheraton, Marriott, and Westin hotels.
