Is the water clean at Plage St Cirq?
Thinking of swimming at Plage St Cirq? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Sufficient — meets the minimum EU standard in the latest annual assessment. 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 Sufficient for 2 straight years. You can park about ~200 m away.
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, 5 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. On site you'll find Sandy shore, Restaurant, and Kids' area. Tour-de-Faure — the closest town — sits about ~900 m from here.
“Sufficient” 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. There are 5 places to eat within a kilometre — La Guinguette de la Plage is the closest, about ~30 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Plage St Cirq?
Technically yes, though it's worth being careful: Plage St Cirq's 2025 rating is Sufficient, the bottom of the passing range, so look for local advisories before swimming.
How warm is the sea at Plage St Cirq right now?
The panel above shows a sample value of around 24°C. This is placeholder data shown because a live marine-weather feed wasn't reachable — it will be replaced automatically once the feed is available. That's the reading right off Lot.
Which month has the warmest sea at Plage St Cirq?
July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer. That applies to the water around Lot.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; Plage St Cirq doesn't have that feed yet.
How do you get to Plage St Cirq?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. There's a bus stop about ~610 m from the beach. The nearest town is Tour-de-Faure, about ~900 m away.
