Is the water clean at Punta Baldassarre?
Punta Baldassarre is a coastal bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Not classified for the 2025 season — not enough samples in this year to assign an official rating. 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 Kids' area. You can park about ~380 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 3 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. Milazzo — the closest town — sits about ~5.5 km from here.
Worth remembering: “Not classified” 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 are 7 places to eat within a kilometre — Paradiso is the closest, about ~270 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is the water at Punta Baldassarre safe right now?
Not without checking first: Punta Baldassarre's 2025 rating is Not classified, so look for local advisories and posted flags before swimming.
How cold or warm is the water at Punta Baldassarre today?
That reading, around 24°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 Punta Baldassarre?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through July–September, based on the modeled climatology.
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; Punta Baldassarre doesn't have that feed yet.
Can you drive to Punta Baldassarre?
By car, there's parking about ~380 m from the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Capo Milazzo, about ~390 m away. The nearest town is Milazzo, about ~5.5 km away.
