Season

First week of June to third week of September. Microbiological monitoring occurs weekly on Saturdays for 17 consecutive weeks. Environmental inspections occur at least 3 times weekly during the bathing season.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored weekly by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA) during the bathing season. Monitoring includes microbiological indicators (Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci) as per EU Directive 2006/7/CE. Environmental inspections evaluate water transparency, coloration, floating solids, marine and terrestrial plant debris, foam, phytoplankton patches, hydrocarbons, and jellyfish presence.

Risks

The beach receives occasional discharge from the underground Rec de Palau during heavy rainfall events. The area has high hydrological response velocity (VRH) to rainfall episodes. The emergency discharge system and four pipelines from the wastewater treatment facility can be activated in cases of network overload or main emissary failure.
