Scotland has some beautiful beaches which are well used by local people and visitors. Keep Scotland Beautiful co-ordinates two beach award schemes to recognise some of the best managed beaches: The international Blue Flag, and the Seaside Award.
Keep Scotland Beautiful is also involved in campaigns to tackle coastal and marine litter.
