This is an official forecast for the stated period, not an observation taken at the beach.

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 Cala Cerrada, also known as Cala de los Cocedores, is an isolated shell-shaped cove surrounded by rocks and transparent waters. Its golden sandy shore is 150 metres long and 20 metres wide, between a cliff frontage and an area protected as a ZEPIM. The alternative name refers to the natural esparto-processing site that existed at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the A-332, with parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and two chemical toilets.
