Does Punta de la Plata have a Blue Flag?

No. Punta de la Plata is not listed with a Blue Flag in the MITECO data. The nearest Blue Flag beach is El Cristo (Estepona), 4 km away in a straight line. Without a flag, Punta de la Plata can be just as good: the label measures services and water quality, not looks.
