Wexford County Council have withdrawn Courtown beach's Blue Flag status for the time being, due to lower than normal beach sand levels.
However, there was great news for Baginbun in the Model County, which was awarded its first ever green coast award.
It's one of nine given the award, with a further six green coast awards given to beaches in Waterford.
