Flying the Blue Flag...

Devon has 12 Blue Flags in 2009 - four fewer than in 2008, with Torbay losing two of its awards.

The four which lost out in the county this year are Paignton Sands and Goodrington South - both in Paignton, Torbay; Bantham in the South Hams, and Sandy Bay in Exmouth.

However, Torbay can still boast five Blue Flag beaches.

The award of a European Blue Flag is a symbol of high environmental standards as well as good sanitary and safety facilities.
