This is followed by the region of Lisbon and Tagus Valley with 57 beaches (three beaches more than before). Also noteworthy is the Centro region, which has \u201csustained growth\u201d, with 46 beaches (two more).<\/p>\n<p>The motto in 2020 is \u201cReturning to the Sea with an Attitude to Change\u201d: changing the way we relate to the Sea and to others; changing the way we enjoy the beach; changing the way we behave socially and environmentally. It is, therefore, essential to adapt our behavior to the new rules, so that, as soon as possible, we can enjoy the Sea and Nature without fear and without restrictions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mapa-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38538 colorbox-38785\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mapa-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"809\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mapa-1.jpg 809w, https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mapa-1-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mapa-1-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ericeiramag.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mapa-1-600x369.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In view of the pandemic of the new Coronavirus, which causes Covid-19 disease, this year the bathing season, which started on June 6 at the national level, will be a little different and won&#8217;t go without a few restrictions. In view of the exceptional situation, the Government, along with several entities, defined a set of rules for the beaches.<\/p>\n<p>Among the several measures defined by the Executive is the reinforcement of signs in places where parking is prohibited, the minimum distance of three meters from the umbrellas of others or the prohibition on using equipment for collective use, namely pedal boats, slides, beach showers or foot showers.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Flag program aims to distinguish beaches that meet the requirements of environmental quality, safety and well-being.
