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 Herradura is a small, isolated and sheltered beach set against a mountainous landscape. Its 35-metre length and 12-metre width bring together golden sand, with vegetation in the surroundings, forming a small-scale space. Access on foot is difficult, although it can also be reached by boat; the nearest road is the N-332. As a practical reference, Puerto Deportivo Juan Montiel is located in Águilas.
