Caravan owners looking to take a coastal break to discover some of the UK’s most pristine beaches have been advised to explore Yorkshire, as the region has won 20 awards for the quality of its coastline.
Nine beaches in the East Riding area have been honoured in the annual Blue Flag and Quality Coast awards, as well as 11 beaches in North Yorkshire.
Keep Britain Tidy runs both award schemes, with the Blue Flag being given to areas with high standards of water quality, safety and cleanliness, while the Quality Coast award is reserved for beaches with high-quality facilities and exceptional cleanliness.
Withernsea, Runswick Bay, Filey Bay and South Landing are four beaches in the county to be recognised in this way.
Phil Barton, chief executive of Keep Britain Tidy, said: “The continuing high standards of these beaches are testament to the hard work carried out by the beach managers throughout the year in order to provide clean and safe beaches.”
Caravan owners looking to visit Yorkshire can choose from a range of sites including Low Moor and Bridlington, both of which are located near the east coast.
