Lanzarote only gets three blue flags on its beaches after losing four

The blue flag will fly this summer on 47 beaches in the Canary Islands, nine less than in 2024, after four beaches in Tenerife, another four in Lanzarote and one in Fuerteventura lost this distinction, as announced this Wednesday by Adeac, the environmental association that awards them.

Gran Canaria will be the island with the most blue flags on its beaches this year, with 16; followed by Tenerife, with 13; Fuerteventura, with ten; La Palma, with six; Lanzarote, with three; El Hierro, with two; and La Gomera, with one.

The list of blue flags in the Canary Islands has no new additions compared to 2024, but it does have nine losses, nine beaches that will no longer be able to fly it: Fañabé (Adeje), El Camisón (Arona), El Muelle and the natural pools of El Caletón (Garachico), in Tenerife; Matagorda, Pila de la Barrilla, Pocillos (Tías) and Las Cucharas (Teguise), in Lanzarote; and Corralejo Viejo (Fuerteventura).
