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 las Arenas, also known as Punta Gongora, extends below the cliffs of the Andén Verde, between Punta de La Aldea and Playa del Risco. Its 975-metre length and 20-metre width form an isolated strip of golden sand, rounded stones and rock, facing a mountainous landscape within the Parque Natural de Tamadaba. Occupancy is low and access on foot is difficult; the GC-200 is the reference road. The listing also records nudist use.
