Common questions about swimming in Romania

Is it safe to swim in Romania?
Mostly yes. 84% of Romania's 50 officially monitored bathing sites hold the top "Excellent" class in the 2025 assessment, and not a single one is rated Poor.
Which beaches in Romania should I avoid?
None. No bathing site in Romania carries a Poor classification in the 2025 assessment.
Where is the water cleanest in Romania?
26 sites have held the top rating five seasons running — a far better signal than a single good year. Around Constanta, Mamaia you will find the densest clusters.
How often is water quality tested in Romania?
Through the whole bathing season. National sanitary authorities sample each official site for E. coli and intestinal enterococci, report to the European Environment Agency, and the published class reflects the last four seasons combined.

Ratings are the official season-long classification, computed from the last four seasons of sampling — not a live reading. After a storm any site can be temporarily worse; local advisories win.
