Field Guide — 2026 Season
Blue Flag Beaches in Jordan
Jordan's short Red Sea window at Aqaba is its entire coastline, and the flag there certifies managed beaches on some of the world's most accessible coral-reef water. A one-town entry in the field guide, but a memorable one.
A Blue Flag is awarded season by season for excellent bathing-water quality, safety, services, and environmental management — what a Blue Flag beach means explains the certification in full.
