Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition

Bathing season in Croatia: 1 June – 15 September for sea beaches (monitoring 15 May – 30 September). County public-health institutes sample sea water about every 15 days; each result is published per sampling point.

Annual EEA classes do not show temporary bans, short-term pollution or algae alerts. National information last checked 2026-11-01.

Season status: Today (6 November 2026) is outside the official bathing season (1 June – 15 September). Official monitoring is tied to the season (a first sample may be taken shortly before it opens), so there are no current official water-quality results now. The next season starts on 1 June 2027.
