Environmental estimate

Conditions less favourable for jellyfish arrival

Forecast wind and the regional coastline orientation are less favourable for jellyfish transport towards the shore. This is a limited-confidence regional physical indicator; it does not confirm the presence or absence of jellyfish at this beach.

Characteristics published by official sources

Cala de los Amarillos is a small, secluded beach protected by a dune setting within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Maritime-Terrestrial Natural Park. Its 100-metre length and barely 15-metre width form a strip of golden sand, with calm waters and low visitor numbers. It is reached from Playa de Los Genoveses by a difficult walk; it is also listed in connection with the AL-3108 road. Access signage and cleaning are the practical facilities noted.
