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 Cala en Forcat is distinguished by the extreme narrowness of its shore: just 25 metres long and 13 metres wide, with a strip of golden sand and rock in an urban setting. Although it receives few visitors, its limited space means occupancy is high. Calm waters and a bathing platform with steps complete its layout, together with bathing markers and a boat launching channel. It is easily reached on foot or by car, with parking and an interurban bus service.
