Is the water clean at Le Pont de Saint Victor?
Le Pont de Saint Victor is a river bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. 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 ~920 m away.
Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 9 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. 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. Worth noting: the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories. Saint-Victor-de-Malcap — the closest town — sits about ~700 m from here.
Worth remembering: “Good” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Gard.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Le Pont de Saint Victor?
It's a solid yes: Le Pont de Saint Victor is rated Good for 2025, the second tier on the EU scale, backed by 9 of 11 classified seasons at Excellent or Good. That said, the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's worth checking for current local advisories too.
How warm is the sea at Le Pont de Saint Victor right now?
That reading, around 24°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 Gard.
What's the ideal time of year to swim at Le Pont de Saint Victor?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Gard.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
National authorities sample the water for intestinal enterococci and E. coli bacteria through the bathing season and report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency each spring for the season just finished, which assigns one of four annual classifications — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — under the EU Bathing Water Directive. Some national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual in-season sample results ahead of that annual report.

By car, there's parking about ~920 m from the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Berguerolles, about ~920 m away. The nearest town is Saint-Victor-de-Malcap, about ~700 m away.
