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 Laga combines the isolation of an open beach with the setting of the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. Its 574 metres of length and 240 metres of width bring together golden sand, dunes, mountain and cliffs, with vegetation and strong waves. Attendance is high, although the description states that it retains a certain tranquillity. Cape Ogoño rises on the right bank, where climbing is practised, and surfing lessons are provided on the beach. It is reached on foot or by car via the BI-3234, with more than 100 parking spaces.
