In this sense, the mayor pointed out "the very wide level of occupation and satisfaction" that the sandbanks that today receive this distinction are registering, influencing the work "of the entire town hall, especially the Beach Department, dimensioning cleaning services to the maximum , safety and attention to people ”.

The objective has always been, said the mayor, "to offer safe beaches, for everyone and every day under the premises of" excellence and maximum quality ", finally showing their satisfaction" because very soon the flags will be flying on the beaches of Benidorm " .

The cleanliness of the water and sand on the beach, the hygienic conditions, the physical and sanitary security protocols, the facilities, the security and first aid services, the leisure offer that accompanies them and the information offered determine the degree of excellence and the achievement of the award.
