Two beaches in the Elliot Lake area have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag designation by Swim Drink Fish.
Spine Beach and Spruce Beach were recognized by the group.
The Blue Flag program recognizes beaches with clean, swimmable waters, high-quality services, that are operated sustainably.
Elliot Lake City Staff recently raised the Blue Flags at Spine and Spruce beaches, two of only 23 locations recognized by Swim Drink Fish.
"Spine beach is known for its white sand and clear waters," says Swim Drink Fish. "A beautiful walking trail connects Spruce beach to Spine beach and the Westview boat launch."
The site describes Spruce Beach as "a beautiful clean beach tucked away in the charming town of Elliot Lake."
