Environmental excellence: the Blue Flags
In addition to being child-friendly, many of Terra Barocca’s beaches have received the prestigious Blue Flag, an award given by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) to locations that meet strict environmental and management criteria. Among the award-winning beaches are:

- Ragusa, Modica, Ispica, and Pozzallo, all of which were reappointed for their continued commitment to environmental protection and quality services.
Blue Flags attest to the presence of efficient sewage treatment plants, careful waste management, safety for bathers, accessibility, and care for urban furniture and beaches. These criteria ensure that visitors enjoy a high-quality bathing experience in a context of respect and enhancement of the natural environment.
