Is the water clean at Foce Torrente Steria?
Foce Torrente Steria 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 Toilets, Beach bar, and Restaurant. There's parking about ~60 m from the beach.
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. The nearest town, San Bartolomeo al Mare, is about ~600 m away.
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. There are 9 places to eat within a kilometre — Le Nereidi is the closest, about ~140 m away.

A handful of countries, including Croatia via IZOR, also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report — Foce Torrente Steria doesn't have that feed set up yet.
