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 Chorrillo extends along the southern side of Ceuta, divided by breakwaters and beside the monumental area, the moat and one of its walls. Its 850 metres of length and 30 metres of width form an urban beach of golden sand and calm waters, accompanied by a seafront promenade. The relationship between the beach and the fortifications is the feature that best defines its landscape. Access is easy on foot, by car or by boat from the N-352, with more than 100 parking spaces and an urban bus service. It also has food and drink establishments, showers and nautical equipment hire.
