The Blue Flag award and Seaside Award both have strict criteria for a beach to be able to obtain it. Since South West Water moved the sewage outfall years ago, Westward Ho! water quality has just been getting better and better. This year is no different with the beach gaining it's 15th Blue Flag award and Seaside award.
The ONLY beach in North Devon to meet the standards and rightly so. Westward Ho! is very lucky, it has Northam Parish Council, Torridge District Council, Westward Ho! Business Association, Surfers Against Sewage and it's loving residents all working together to maintain it. Known for it's rugged beauty mixed in with friendly vibe you won't find a better beach . What are you waiting for? Come and #visitwestwardho and see for yourself.
