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 de las Arenas is characterised by a microclimate that protects it from north-westerly winds and by a composition that changes throughout the year: the source describes it as a sandy beach between June and November and as a beach of rounded stones in winter. The beach is 150 metres long and 50 metres wide, isolated, exposed to strong waves and beside a protected semi-urban coast. The promenade and vegetation accompany the surroundings. Access on foot or by car via the TF-445 is easy, with more than 100 parking spaces and adapted access. There are litter bins, food establishments and a sports area.
