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 de Ea lies at the mouth of the municipality’s estuary, within an urban frontage combining town, mountain and cliff. Its 120 metres of length and 130 metres of width form a space of fine sand, described as very sheltered, with high occupancy and gentle waves. The seafront promenade accompanies the beach and reinforces its integration with the town centre. Access is easy on foot or by car via the BI-3238, with fewer than 50 parking spaces and an interurban bus. The beach offers toilets, showers, a children’s area, food and diving services.
