Is the water clean at Gervanne Amont de Beaufort?
Gervanne Amont de Beaufort is a river bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Poor for the 2025 season — below the EU standard; swimming may be discouraged or restricted by local authorities. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated 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. You can park about ~730 m away.
Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 5 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. Beaufort-sur-Gervanne — the closest town — sits about ~1.1 km from here.
That “Poor” label comes from a full season of official water sampling, not a single test — it's one step on a four-point scale (Excellent, Good, Sufficient, Poor) reassessed once a year. Today's actual conditions can differ from the seasonal average, so for a live snapshot see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Poor for 4 straight years. There's 1 place to eat near the beach — Restaurant du Domaine La Belle Verte, about ~360 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is the water at Gervanne Amont de Beaufort safe right now?
Not without checking first: Gervanne Amont de Beaufort's 2025 rating is Poor, so look for local advisories and posted flags before swimming.
How warm is the sea at Gervanne Amont de Beaufort right now?
That reading, around 22°C, is a placeholder rather than a live measurement, shown only because the marine-weather feed was temporarily unreachable; it updates automatically once the feed returns. That's the reading right off Drôme.
What's the ideal time of year to swim at Gervanne Amont de Beaufort?
July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer. That applies to the water around Drôme.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The annual classification — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — is built from a full season of official testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring. Some national authorities (Croatia's IZOR among them) also publish individual samples during the season itself; Gervanne Amont de Beaufort isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.

By car, there's parking about ~730 m from the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Beaufort-sur-Gervanne - Multi-Services, about ~1.0 km away. The nearest town is Beaufort-sur-Gervanne, about ~1.1 km away.
