Broughty Ferry beach has received external recognition for the 13th year in a row!
For the 2016 bathing season, our beach has been awarded the Keep Scotland Beautiful 'Seaside Award' and an “excellent” EU Bathing Waters classification.
It is good news that the bathing water quality there has been designated ‘Excellent’ under the stringent EU Bathing Water Classification.
To qualify for the Seaside Award from Keep Scotland Beautiful, 25 conditions need to be met including: community, access and facilities; information and education; environment management and safety. These criteria cover the provision of facilities, such as toilets, first aid, information boards and parking as well as appropriate safety management, community involvement and excellent standards of cleanliness.
The beach is a huge asset for The Ferry, the wider Dundee area. and of course the visitors from further afield.
Broughty Ferry is a designated, “bathing water” monitored by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) between June and September and is given its EU classification based on four years of data.
The bathing season at Broughty Ferry runs from now until Sunday September 4.
