Is the water clean at Playa Puertito de G?imar (La Charcada-Muelle)?
Thinking of swimming at Playa Puertito de G?imar (La Charcada-Muelle)? The short answer: its official EU Bathing Water rating for 2025 is Good — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. That rating is set once a year under the EU Bathing Water Directive, from a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli reported to the European Environment Agency the following spring, so the 2025 season's grade appeared in spring 2026 and the 2026 season won't be graded 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. Worth noting: the rating slipped from Excellent to Good in 2025, so it's especially worth checking the latest local advisories.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from June–October, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter.
Worth remembering: “Good” 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. It sits in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

What does the water quality rating actually measure?

Some national authorities, including Croatia's IZOR, also publish individual in-season sample results ahead of that annual report.
