Is the water clean at Les Haas?
Les Haas is a coastal 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 Sandy shore, Toilets, and Restaurant. There's parking about ~90 m from the beach.
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. 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 nearest town, Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, is about ~400 m away.
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 Côtes-d'Armor. There are 9 places to eat within a kilometre — La Payotte is the closest, about ~100 m away.

When should you plan a swimming trip to Les Haas?
For swimming, July–September is usually the best call — that's the modeled window when the sea here runs warmest. That applies to the water around Côtes-d'Armor. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Who measures the water quality rating, and how?
Once a year, national authorities report a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli to the European Environment Agency, which grades the season Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor under the EU Bathing Water Directive. A handful of countries, including Croatia via IZOR, also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report — Les Haas doesn't have that feed set up yet.
What's the easiest way to reach Les Haas?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Église, about ~440 m away. The nearest town is Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer, about ~400 m away.
