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 las Playas extends for 3,500 metres in an isolated mountainous setting, with an especially narrow strip of barely 20 metres and a composition of sand, rounded stones and dark gravel. Its most recognisable feature appears at the start of the bay: Roque de la Bonanza rises vertically 200 metres above the ocean floor. Vegetation and protection as SCI/SAC, Monumento Natural and Biosphere Reserve complete the landscape. It is reached on foot or by car via the road to Las Playas, with an interurban bus.
