Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the policies developed by local authorities in Spain to provide a safe environment on beaches in order to identify the strategies behind as well as the measures applied to enforce them. Our results, based on a survey of over 200 municipalities responsible for the 646 beaches awarded an ecolabel certification, the Blue Flag, reveal that the policies revolve around three axes: beach organization, reduction of items that could be a source of risk, and reduction of some types of services.
