ZERO POLLUTION BEACH 2026
Three straight years of Excellent bathing water with no detectable pollution — what does that mean?

Selected by the Portuguese environmental association ZERO using official bathing-water monitoring from 2023, 2024 and 2025. The bathing water remained officially classified as Excellent, and all monitored results for E. coli and intestinal enterococci were below ZERO’s microbiological detection threshold throughout that period. The distinction does not cover every possible form of pollution and does not replace current beach warnings.
