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 de la Arena is a beach of golden sand and gravel enclosed within the port area of Arrecife. It is 115 metres long and 10 metres wide, forming part of a semi-urban frontage with calm waters and low occupancy. The seafront promenade accompanies the surroundings, while the listing mentions a marina under construction in Arrecife. Access is easy on foot from the LZ-101 and parking is available, a practical detail especially relevant for a beach in a port setting.
