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.

Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa del Palmar is a beach of dark sand and gravel which, despite its semi-urban character, is somewhat distant from the area’s tourist centres. Its 120-metre length and barely 10-metre width form a narrow strip, with calm waters and high visitor numbers. Access on foot is easy and is served by interurban routes 111 and 343. For practical purposes, it also has nearby parking and Puerto Colón as the nautical reference.
