Is the water clean at Parc Plage Ile?
Parc Plage Ile 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 Toilets, Restaurant, and Kids' area. You can park about ~210 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 4 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. 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. Saint-Aignan — the closest town — sits about ~400 m from here.
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. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Good for 2 straight years. There are 24 places to eat within a kilometre — Sur le Pont is the closest, about ~160 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is the water at Parc Plage Ile safe right now?

How warm is the sea at Parc Plage Ile right now?

What's the ideal time of year to swim at Parc Plage Ile?
July–September tends to be the sweet spot for swimming here, with sea temperatures usually peaking later in that stretch. That applies to the water around Loir-et-Cher.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The annual classification — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — is built from a full season of official testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring. Some national authorities (Croatia's IZOR among them) also publish individual samples during the season itself; Parc Plage Ile isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is St.Aignan sur Cher – Quai J.J.Delorme, about ~200 m away. The nearest town is Saint-Aignan, about ~400 m away.
