Playa de Troya I in Adeje is an officially monitored EU bathing water with one sampling point. This page shows the official classifications and lab results next to today's UV, sea temperature, waves and wind.
The European Environment Agency classifies Playa de Troya I as «excellent» for the 2025 bathing season. It has been rated excellent without a break since 2020.
The 2025 classification is based on all official samples from the 2022 to 2025 bathing seasons. Two gut bacteria are measured, Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci: on the coast, «excellent» means that 95 per cent of the results are below 250 E. coli and below 100 enterococci per 100 millilitres.
For context: to be rated «excellent» on the coast, 95 per cent of samples must be below 250 E. coli and below 100 enterococci per 100 ml; for «good» the limits are 500 and 200. Single values above these limits are marked amber (above «excellent») or red (above «good»); the health service decides on bathing bans.

In the official register of discharges into the sea (Censo de vertidos 2025, Government of the Canary Islands), the nearest active discharge point is 70 m from the beach: «Aliviadero EBAR Barranco de Troya», an outfall pipe carrying urban wastewater. Its status in the register: permitted. Within one kilometre the register lists 4 active discharge points, none of them without a permit. A discharge point nearby does not automatically mean polluted bathing water. What counts for bathing quality are the official lab samples.
