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 D'Ocata is an extensive beach 2,500 metres long and 133 metres wide, situated beside the urban area of El Masnou. Golden sand, high visitor numbers and the combination of a seafront promenade with an earth track define a broad, partly differentiated frontage. Its waters are calm, although windy conditions are also described, and the listing records nudist use and an anchorage area. Access is easy on foot, with an interurban bus and the Renfe station at Ocata. There are adapted toilets, showers, drinking water, food, a sports area and assisted bathing.
