Sport and Recreational Activities in Blue Flag Beaches

Herold’s Bay

In adherence to international Blue Flag standards at our beaches, George Municipality outlines the following rules for sport and recreational events:

  • Organized sports activities require prior application and approval from George Municipality.
  • Approved activities must be conducted in designated or demarcated areas.
  • All beach sports, both formal and informal, should not compromise the use and safety of the beach for other beachgoers.
  • Prohibited activities include those causing disturbance, erosion of sand dunes, and the promotion of litter accumulation, especially in bathing and Blue Flag-designated areas.

George’s beaches with full Blue Flag status are Wilderness, Herold’s Bay, and Victoria Bay. Leentjiesklip holds Pilot status for the 2023 festive season. The Blue Flag is an international coastal management program accrediting beaches that meet standards in water quality, environmental management, education, safety, and services.

Applications for the use of the beach for organized sports and recreational events at the beach can be sent to Ms Nosidima Vumindaba at nvumindaba@george.gov.za or call 044 802 2900.
