Is the water clean at Sud Est Gora?
Sud Est Gora sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good 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. You can park about ~230 m away.
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 Lifeguard, Beach bar, and Restaurant. Follonica — the closest town — sits about ~1.0 km from here.
“Good” 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 35 places to eat within a kilometre — Congo Bar is the closest, about ~60 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Can you safely swim at Sud Est Gora?
Yes. Its official 2025 EU Bathing Water rating is Good, the second-highest classification, and 11 of the 11 classified seasons on record have rated Excellent or Good. That said, the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's worth checking for current local advisories too.
How warm is the sea at Sud Est Gora right now?
That reading, around 27°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 Sud Est Gora?
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; Sud Est Gora doesn't have that feed yet.
Can you drive to Sud Est Gora?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. There's a bus stop about ~210 m from the beach. The nearest town is Follonica, about ~1.0 km away.
