What kind of beach is this?

Is the water clean at Localita' Punta Staffalo?
Localita' Punta Staffalo sits on a stretch of coast classed as a lake bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Excellent for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow 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.
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. That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. On site you'll find Pebble shore, Showers, and Toilets. Sirmione — the closest town — sits about ~1.1 km from here.
“Excellent” 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 3 places to eat within a kilometre — Lido delle Grotte is the closest, about ~110 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is the water at Localita' Punta Staffalo safe right now?
Generally, yes. Localita' Punta Staffalo's 2025 EU Bathing Water rating is Excellent — the highest tier — backed by 11 of 11 classified seasons rated Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Excellent for 11 straight years.
Is the sea warm at Localita' Punta Staffalo today?
That reading, around 28°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.
What's the ideal time of year to swim at Localita' Punta Staffalo?
July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer.
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; Localita' Punta Staffalo doesn't have that feed yet.

There's no parking mapped within 1.5 km of Localita' Punta Staffalo, so plan on a walk, or arrive early once it gets busy. The nearest town is Sirmione, about ~1.1 km away.
