Is the water clean at Le Pont Des Camisards?
Le Pont Des Camisards 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. On site you'll find Parking. There's parking about ~200 m 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. Worth noting: the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories. The nearest town, Soustelle, is about ~2.1 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is Le Pont Des Camisards safe to swim in?
Yes — Le Pont Des Camisards'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 is the sea temperature at Le Pont Des Camisards today?
For Le Pont Des Camisards, the ~23°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 Gard. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When should you plan a swimming trip to Le Pont Des Camisards?
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.
Who measures the water quality rating, and how?
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 Des Camisards.
What's the easiest way to reach Le Pont Des Camisards?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Soustelle, about ~2.1 km away.
