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.

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Cala Higuera is an isolated beach of pebbles and gravel beneath a cliff frontage within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Maritime-Terrestrial Natural Park. Its 220-metre length and 15-metre width form a stony shore with calm waters and low occupancy, with a recorded anchorage area. Unlike other secluded coves, it is easily reached on foot or by car via the AL-3108, although available parking is for fewer than 50 vehicles. A diving service linked to Club Náutico de San José is also listed.
