Heading for your favourite beach? Is the bathing water clean? Europe has a great diversity of beautiful beaches and bathing areas, where each year millions of Europeans spend their weekends at.
To allow the citizens to make an informed choice on which beach to choose, an annual report on the quality of bathing areas, as reported by EU Member States is prepared. This year the report has been prepared by the European Environment Agency (EEA) in cooperation with the European Commission DG Environment. The report assesses the bathing water quality in all 28 EU Member States, as well as Albania and Switzerland in the 2015 bathing water season and thereby gives an indication of the areas where the quality of bathing is expected to be good this year.
Among others, in Croatia, in 2015, 96% of the 935 bathing water sites were classified as either good or excellent water quality.
