- While North Beach lost its status, Tenby South and Tenby's Castle Beach retained their Blue Flag awards, with the latter holding the designation for 25 years.
- Chief Executive Owen Derbyshire of Keep Wales Tidy called the news 'incredibly disappointing' and committed the organization to supporting North Beach in restoring its water quality and Blue Flag standing.
