Is the water clean at Plage de Castelmoron Lot?
Plage de Castelmoron Lot 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 Lifeguard, Sandy shore, and Toilets. You can park about ~130 m away.
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. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Good for 5 straight years. Castelmoron-sur-Lot — the closest town — sits about ~200 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 Lot-et-Garonne. There are 3 places to eat within a kilometre — Solar café is the closest, about ~40 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Plage de Castelmoron Lot?
Generally, yes. Plage de Castelmoron Lot holds a Good rating for 2025, the second-best classification, and 11 of 11 classified seasons have met the Excellent-or-Good bar. It's also held steady at Good for 5 straight years.
How warm is the sea at Plage de Castelmoron Lot right now?
That reading, around 25°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 Lot-et-Garonne.
Which month has the warmest sea at Plage de Castelmoron Lot?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Lot-et-Garonne.
How is the water quality rating measured?
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; Plage de Castelmoron Lot 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 Castelmoron-sur-Lot - Place Eglise, about ~250 m away. The nearest town is Castelmoron-sur-Lot, about ~200 m away.
