Gandía Beach: Innovation and Accessibility with the New Colorblind Flags
We know that our Gandía beach is one of the best, and this year it proves it again with the addition of inclusive flags for colorblind visitors. This advance reinforces its commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and quality, positioning it as a benchmark in the Mediterranean. Discover how this innovative service improves the experience for all visitors.
One Step Closer to Inclusion
Gandía beach has implemented 144 special flags (green, yellow, and red) that use the ColorADD system. This graphic code allows colorblind people to identify the state of the sea using universal symbols, ensuring everyone can enjoy a safe experience without visual barriers.
What is the ColorADD System?
ColorADD is a graphic language designed for colorblind people, which uses geometric shapes to represent colors. Thanks to this system, the new beach flags make it easier for those with color blindness to interpret sea conditions.
The Meaning of the Green, Yellow and Red Flags
Flags are an essential system for ensuring beach safety. On Gandía beach, now with color-blind flags, it’s easier than ever to understand the state of the sea:
- Green Flag: Indicates that conditions are optimal and safe for bathing. However, it’s always important to exercise caution, especially with children or the elderly.
- Yellow Flag: Indicates caution. Although swimming is permitted, extreme caution is recommended due to possible currents or moderately adverse conditions.
- Red Flag: Swimming prohibited due to dangerous conditions, such as strong currents or bad weather. It is essential to obey this warning to avoid accidents.
Our advice: Always heed the flags and follow the lifeguards’ instructions. Your safety is paramount.
Gandía Beach: A Blue Flag Destination
Another source of pride for our coast is the revalidation of the Blue Flag. This international distinction recognizes water quality, environmental management, safety services, and accessibility. Playa Nord and Playa de L’Ahuir have earned this award for more than 38 consecutive years, ranking them among the best beaches in the Mediterranean.
What does the Blue Flag guarantee?
- Clean and safe waters.
- Services such as lifeguards, public restrooms, and adapted access.
- Exemplary environmental management and educational activities.
Choosing a Blue Flag beach means enjoying yourself with peace of mind, knowing you’re in a well-maintained, environmentally friendly environment.
Gandía Beach: An Updated and Accessible Destination
In addition to the inclusive flags, Gandía beach continues to stand out for its adapted services. It has three accessible bathing spots managed by the Red Cross, walkways to the shore, free shaded areas, and amphibious chairs to facilitate access to the sea. These initiatives ensure that everyone, regardless of their condition, can fully enjoy the coastal environment.
Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Environmental quality and first-class services are fundamental pillars of Gandía beach. With Blue Flags certifying its clean and safe waters, reinforced daily cleaning, and active surveillance throughout the tourist season, Gandía is positioned as an ideal destination to enjoy the Mediterranean.
