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 Las Caletillas is a small urban beach of dark sand and gravel, barely 60 metres long and 17 metres wide. Its sheltered character combines with a highly urbanised setting and a seafront promenade running alongside the shore. The usual swell is moderate, while restaurants, showers and the tourist office complete the range of services. It is easily reached on foot or by car, with an interurban bus connection and parking indicated in the entry.
