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.

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa A Areiña Branca, also called Sandría, is a small beach of white sand and rock, calm and sheltered from the wind within the Camariñas estuary. Its 140-metre length and 15-metre width open onto an isolated mountainous setting, with vegetation and low occupancy. The RC-1 route passes its access points, although the main arrival is by car via the AC-432. There is parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and a cleaning service, two practical details for planning a visit.
