Is the water clean at Via Flecchia?
Via Flecchia sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Sufficient 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. There's parking about ~120 m from the beach.
Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 10 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. 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 Good to Sufficient in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories. The nearest town, Genova, is about ~7.1 km away.
That “Sufficient” 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 — La Casa dei Capitani is the closest, about ~100 m away.

When should you plan a swimming trip to Via Flecchia?
For swimming, July–September is usually the best call — that's the modeled window when the sea here runs warmest. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
Where does the water quality rating come from?
Once a year, national authorities report a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli to the European Environment Agency, which grades the season Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor under the EU Bathing Water Directive. A handful of countries, including Croatia via IZOR, also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report — Via Flecchia doesn't have that feed set up yet.

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Gianelli 3 / Bolzano, about ~120 m away. The nearest town is Genova, about ~7.1 km away.
