Three Sussex beaches have won Blue Flag awards for cleanliness and quality, it was announced today.
Camber, Littlehampton Coastguards and West Wittering all picked up the flag, the first two winning it for the first time.
But beaches including Brighton, Hastings and Worthing failed to meet the award standards.
Blue Flags are awarded by charity Encams, organisers of the Keep Britain Tiday campaign, for management, cleanliness and facilities.
Winners can fly the flag during the bathing season and must display their winning criteria on easy-to-read signs.
Encams said 105 UK resorts were awarded the Blue Flag this year, smashing last year's record of 83.
