Is the water clean at Bellaria - Pedrera Grande N?
Bellaria - Pedrera Grande N is a coastal 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 Beach bar, Benches, and Trash bins. You can park about ~620 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 8 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 3 straight years. Torre Pedrera — the closest town — sits about ~1.2 km 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. There's 1 place to eat near the beach — Bar Romano, about ~220 m away.
