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 de La Isla takes its name from the islet situated opposite its left-hand side, which becomes connected to the beach at low tide by a tombolo. It is an urban beach of golden sand, 800 metres long and 50 metres wide, with a promenade, vegetation and strong swell, usually accompanied by wind. High visitor numbers are matched by good facilities and a children's area. It is reached by car from the N-634, with between 50 and 100 parking spaces, showers, toilets and first aid.
