In its 20 km, there are already several facilities that hold this category, which for next year they intend to extend their entirety. A better ordered beach with more information will help to be certified as an environmental area by the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment and the CSAM.

This strategy to turn any beach into an environmental destination arose from the strategy drawn up by its authorities after it obtained second place at TripAdvisor's Traveler's Choice 2019 Awards earlier this year. The ranking is of the twenty-five best beaches in the world and based on quantity and quality for twelve months.
