Belfast Harbour Marina has been awarded Blue Flag status for the first time in its history, after being revealed as one of a number of local winners of the prestigious accolade. Located at the heart of the Maritime Mile, close to the SSE Arena and Titanic Belfast, the Marina was one of seven across Northern Ireland which have earned the coveted distinction after meeting world-class standards in criteria such as safety, accessibility, cleanliness, and environmental education.
