Is the water clean at La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche?
La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche 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. On site you'll find Restaurant and Parking. You can park about ~130 m away.
Over the 10 classified seasons on record, 0 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. Ruoms — the closest town — sits about ~1.0 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. There are 2 places to eat within a kilometre — La Guinguette is the closest, about ~130 m away.
Frequently asked questions

Caution is advised. Its official 2025 rating is Poor; check for local advisories and posted flags before swimming.
How cold or warm is the water at La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche today?
That's placeholder data, not a live measurement: La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche's marine-weather feed couldn't be reached, so the panel above is showing an estimated ~25°C until the real feed comes back. That's the reading right off Ardèche.
What's the best month to visit La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche for swimming?
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 Ardèche.
What does the water quality rating actually measure?
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; La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.
How do you get to La Beaume A la Plage de Peyroche?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Ruoms, about ~1.0 km away.
