Is the water clean at Le Debarcadere?
Thinking of swimming at Le Debarcadere? 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. Worth noting: the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories. There's parking about ~100 m from the beach.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. 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. The nearest town, Saint-Georges-de-Lévéjac, is about ~2.5 km away.
“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.
Frequently asked questions
Is Le Debarcadere safe to swim in?
Yes — Le Debarcadere's 2025 rating is Good, one step below the top tier, with 11 of 11 classified seasons rated Excellent or Good. That said, the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's worth checking for current local advisories too.
What temperature is the sea at Le Debarcadere right now?
For Le Debarcadere, the ~24°C figure above is a stand-in value, not a live reading — the marine-weather feed was unreachable when the page last built, and it'll swap in automatically once the feed responds again. That's the reading right off Lozère. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When does Le Debarcadere have the warmest water?
For the warmest water, aim for July–September — that's when the modeled sea temperature is typically at its best. That applies to the water around Lozère. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
How is bathing water quality actually assessed?
Behind the annual grade: a season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive. A few countries, Croatia via IZOR included, also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report, but Le Debarcadere doesn't have one published yet.
Is there parking near Le Debarcadere?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Saint-Georges-de-Lévéjac, about ~2.5 km away.
