Quick answers
- What is the latest official rating for Uvala Božavčica?
- Not classified for the 2025 bathing season, according to the EEA dataset reported by Croatia. Not classified usually means too few samples, a new or changed site, or a season without a valid assessment.
- Has the rating changed recently?
- A 2024-to-2025 comparison is not possible because at least one of the two seasons is not classified in the record.
- Where do I check whether swimming is allowed today?
- Use the national profile linked on this page or Sea bathing-water quality (gov.hr → IZOR results) run by Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition, and follow signs and lifeguard instructions at the water. Temporary bans and pollution alerts are published there, not in the annual EEA class.
- Is it bathing season there right now?
- Today (11 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.
