What the different coloured beach flags mean in Spain
Knowing your flags could help avoid tragedy on your next beach holiday in Spain
The four coloured flags used on Spanish beaches
- Green: Bathing in the sea is allowed and water conditions are ideal for swimming.
- Yellow: Swimming is allowed, but bathers should take care as there’s a chance of waves, strong currents, pollution or marine animals. When the yellow flag is flying, beach-goers are advised not to swim out beyond their depth.
- Red: Swimming is strictly prohibited. If you see a red flag on the beach, it means there’s a high risk to your safety if you venture into the water due to adverse conditions, which could include strong waves, treacherous currents or the presence of dangerous animals, like sharks.
- Orange: Lifeguard not on duty.
Other flags
- Black flag: Indicates that the beach is closed. Entering the water is completely prohibited as it poses a great safety risk. In addition, this colour sometimes also indicates that you cannot walk on the sand.
- Blue flag: This is a seal of quality that indicates that it is one of the best beaches in Spain. Coveted Blue Flags are awarded each year to shorelines that stand out for things like the quality of their water, the services and facilities they offer, security, accessibility, environmental protection etc.
- Flag with jellyfish: Indicates that there are lots of jellyfish in the water that could potentially pose a danger to swimmers.
- Yellow flag with black dot: This flag shows that boats and surfboards aren’t allowed.
- Black and white chequered flag: This flag signifies a surf zone and warns bathers that swimming is dangerous.
- White and blue flag: Indicates that it is a diving area, and that boats cannot pass through.
