Welcome to QCA

Our coastal areas are of ever increasing importance and play an integral role in England’s tourism. It is essential that our beaches are of the very highest standard and that those beaches that are well managed are given the recognition they fully deserve.

Keep Britain Tidy (who run the Quality Coast Award) are committed to working closely with beach managers to help them raise standards at the seaside and ensure that beach visitors are consistently experiencing quality visits to the coast.

The Quality Coast Award is a symbol of the great achievements of beach managers throughout the country and allows them to showcase their beaches as amongst the best in England.

This site provides all the background to the Quality Coast Award, including costs and application deadlines and helps beach managers through the application process for this prestigious award.
