I agree with the usefulness - even though any superficial research on a locality will tell you if it's been awarded the Blue Flag, as administrations and tourism offices usually brag quite enough about that :-) However, as far as I know, the Blue Flag is awarded on a Commune basis, so I don't think it would be ok to tag a marina or a beach resort. For example, in Italy, Varazze is traditionally a Blue Flag city, and no beach in the Commune's territory (or, if you wish, *all* of them) are Blue Flag beaches. On the other hand, it never happens that a particular resort sports the Blue Flag if the Commune doesn't. Ciao, Simone
