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

Playa del Cándano is a very small beach opposite Ris beach, measuring 30 metres in length and 15 metres in width. Its golden sand forms an urban space with a semi-urban frontage, surrounded by the protected area of Marismas de Santoña, Victoria y Joyel and the Ajo estuary. Occupancy is usually low and its waters are calm. Access is easy on foot or by car via the CA-448, with parking for fewer than 50 vehicles, showers and catering services.
