Is the water clean at Anse Belleville Trou Au Chat?
Anse Belleville Trou Au Chat sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Sufficient for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. It sits in Martinique.
Looking to avoid the busiest weeks? The water is typically warmest around August, with the most reliable swimming window running July–September; outside that stretch you'll find cooler water but a quieter beach. Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 8 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. Anse Belleville — the closest town — sits about ~300 m from here.
“Sufficient” is one point on a four-step scale — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — assigned once per year from that season's water samples, not a live reading. It describes how the site performs on average across the season, not the exact water quality this afternoon; for day-to-day water conditions, see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above.
