There are 32 items that are evaluated for the blue flag, among them accessibility, environmental education, water and air quality and safety, which make them the best among the best. According to the United Nations, about 80% of marine litter comes from land-based activities, and every year between 1.15 and 2.41 million tons of litter reaches the ocean via rivers.

 

 

In 1987, the year in which the Foundation for Environmental Education was created, Mira soon won its place on the list of the most quality and safe beaches. Over the years, the municipality has made every effort not only to maintain the distinction, but to stand out from the national and international panorama of beaches of excellence.
