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 Les Rotes is not a conventional continuous sandy beach, but a 3,200-metre stretch formed by small rocky and gravel coves, including Punta Negra and el Racó del Goset. The whole area extends south of Dénia in a protected natural setting, with vegetation, a natural coastal frontage and a stone-paved promenade path running along the coast. Occupancy is medium and the waters are calm, although there is wind. Access is on foot or by car via the Dénia-Les Rotes road; parking is available in the surrounding streets and there is an urban bus service.
