Is the water clean at Le Bourgoin?
Thinking of swimming at Le Bourgoin? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Good — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. That rating is set once a year under the EU Bathing Water Directive, from a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli reported to the European Environment Agency the following spring, so the 2025 season's grade appeared in spring 2026 and the 2026 season won't be graded 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's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Good for 8 straight years.
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 a cooler sea but a quieter beach. That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. On site you'll find Toilets, Restaurant, and Parking. Le Menoux — the closest town — sits about ~500 m from here.
“Good” 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 sea conditions, see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above. There's 1 place to eat near the beach — Le Petit Roy, about ~70 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Le Bourgoin?
It's a solid yes: Le Bourgoin is rated Good for 2025, the second tier on the EU scale, backed by 11 of 11 classified seasons at Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Good for 8 straight years.
Is the sea warm at Le Bourgoin today?
That's placeholder data, not a live measurement: Le Bourgoin's marine-weather feed couldn't be reached, so the panel above is showing an estimated ~23°C until the real feed comes back. That's the reading right off Indre.
What's the ideal time of year to swim at Le Bourgoin?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Indre.
What does the water quality rating actually measure?
The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; Le Bourgoin doesn't have that feed yet.
Can you drive to Le Bourgoin?
There's no parking mapped within 1.5 km of Le Bourgoin, so plan on a walk, or arrive early once it gets busy. The nearest town is Le Menoux, about ~500 m away.
