Så rankar vi

Varje strand i den här atlasen har vi själva gått, simmat och fotograferat. Rankningen väger sex saker: vattnet (officiella prover från Morsko Dobro, inte en färg), stranden (underlag, ingång, skugga), hur fullt det blir i augusti, faciliteterna och om en del av stranden förblir fri, hur svår den är att nå, och omgivningen. Utmärkelser räknas bara när vi kan ange året. Varje uppgift bär datumet då vi senast kontrollerade den.
