Is the water clean at Le Pont de Saint Andre?
Le Pont de Saint Andre sits on a stretch of coast classed as a river bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good 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 Gard. There's parking about ~1.2 km from the beach.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from July–September, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Good for 2 straight years. The nearest town, Saint-André-de-Roquepertuis, is about ~1.0 km away.
That “Good” 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 — Guinguette La Frigoulette is the closest, about ~80 m away.

What's the current water temperature at Le Pont de Saint Andre?
The figure above (about 25°C) is placeholder data — the live marine-weather feed wasn't reachable when this page was built, and the real reading will appear automatically once it is. That's the reading right off Gard. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When should you plan a swimming trip to Le Pont de Saint Andre?
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 Gard. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Where does the water quality rating come from?
It's based on official water samples: authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring, which assigns one of four grades — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. A few national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual samples during the season itself, ahead of that annual report — that isn't yet available for Le Pont de Saint Andre.

By car, there's parking about ~1.2 km from the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Pont de Cèze, about ~50 m away. The nearest town is Saint-André-de-Roquepertuis, about ~1.0 km away.
