What kind of beach is this?
This beach belongs to a small coastal village. It's usually calmer than a resort or town beach, though a popular village spot can still fill up on the best summer days.

Is the water clean at Moulin de Chenet?
Thinking of swimming at Moulin de Chenet? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Poor — below the EU standard; swimming may be discouraged or restricted by local authorities. 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. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Poor for 3 straight years. There's parking about ~50 m from the beach.
Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 3 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. 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, Le Menoux, is about ~400 m away.
“Poor” 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
Should you swim at Moulin de Chenet?
Caution is advised — Moulin de Chenet's official 2025 rating is Poor. Check for local advisories and posted flags before going in.
What temperature is the sea at Moulin de Chenet right now?
Treat the ~23°C above as illustrative only — Moulin de Chenet's live marine feed was down when this page was generated, and the figure will be replaced with a real reading automatically once it's back. That's the reading right off Indre. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When does Moulin de Chenet have the warmest water?
If you're planning around water temperature, July–September is the window to target — the modeled sea temperature is typically highest then. That applies to the water around Indre. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Where does the water quality rating come from?
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 Moulin de Chenet doesn't have one published yet.
What's nearby Moulin de Chenet — parking, buses, or a ferry?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Le Menoux, about ~400 m away.
