Slik rangerer vi

Hver strand i dette atlaset har vi selv gått, svømt og fotografert. Rangeringen veier seks ting: vannet (offisielle prøver fra Morsko Dobro, ikke en farge), stranden (underlag, inngang, skygge), hvor fullt det blir i august, fasilitetene og om en del av stranden forblir gratis, hvor vanskelig den er å nå, og omgivelsene. Utmerkelser teller bare når vi kan oppgi året. Hvert faktum er merket med datoen vi sist sjekket det.
