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 Muerto consists of a main beach and a small cove linked by a pedestrian path; another path connects both with Playa de Cotobro. Together they reach 400 metres in length and 42 metres in width, with dark gravel, an isolated character and a mountainous frontage. Calm waters and medium occupancy accompany a coastal experience defined by walking routes. Access is from Cotobro, and the listing also records arrival by boat, litter bins, cleaning and sun-lounger hire.
