What kind of beach is this?
This beach belongs to a small coastal village. It's usually calmer than a resort or town beach, though a popular village spot can still fill up on the best summer days.
Estimated from OpenStreetMap surroundings data (ODbL).
Is the water clean at Playa de Sa Tuna?
Playa de Sa Tuna sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal 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. It sits in Girona. You can park about ~210 m away.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. Begur — the closest town — sits about ~1.9 km from here.
That “Excellent” 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. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Excellent for 11 straight years. There are 6 places to eat within a kilometre — Es Furió is the closest, about ~40 m away.
Frequently asked questions
Is Playa de Sa Tuna a safe beach for swimming?
It's about as safe as bathing water gets: Playa de Sa Tuna's 2025 EU rating is Excellent, the top tier on the scale, and 11 of 11 classified seasons have come back Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Excellent for 11 straight years.
Is the sea warm at Playa de Sa Tuna today?
The panel above shows a sample value of around 22°C. This is placeholder data shown because a live marine-weather feed wasn't reachable — it will be replaced automatically once the feed is available. That's the reading right off Girona.
What's the best month to visit Playa de Sa Tuna for swimming?
July–September is typically the most reliable swimming window, with the sea usually warmest in the second half of summer. That applies to the water around Girona.
How is the water quality rating measured?
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; Playa de Sa Tuna doesn't have that feed yet.
How do you get to Playa de Sa Tuna?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Bus Sa Tuna, about ~190 m away. The nearest town is Begur, about ~1.9 km away.
