Is the water clean at Pont Lamosu?
Pont Lamosu 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 Parking. You can park about ~30 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. Worth noting: the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories. Zonza — the closest town — sits about ~800 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 Corse-du-Sud. There are 4 places to eat within a kilometre — La ferme "A Stadda" is the closest, about ~510 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pont Lamosu a safe beach for swimming?
Generally, yes. Pont Lamosu holds a Good rating for 2025, the second-best classification, and 11 of 11 classified seasons have met the Excellent-or-Good bar. That said, the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's worth checking for current local advisories too.
How cold or warm is the water at Pont Lamosu today?
As of the latest update, the sea temperature at Pont Lamosu is around 28°C — see the “Right now” panel above for live conditions. That's the reading right off Corse-du-Sud.
What's the best month to visit Pont Lamosu for swimming?
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 Corse-du-Sud.
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; Pont Lamosu isn't yet covered by that in-season feed.
Can you drive to Pont Lamosu?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. The nearest town is Zonza, about ~800 m away.
