A total of 332 UK beaches will receive the award
|
Five beaches in Somerset have been named as among the best in the country.
The Beaches at Berrow, Brean, Brean Cove, Burnham-on-Sea and Weston-super-Mare are set to receive Seaside Awards, organised by the charity Environmental Campaigns (ENCAMS).
To receive an award, beaches must have facilities such as showers, first aid and a lifeguard.
Bathing water is also checked before the Seaside Award flag can be flown on the beach.
And dogs must be banned during the summer months.
A total of 332 beaches in the UK are receiving awards this year - an all time record.
