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 El Mojon is the last beach on the coastline of Pilar de la Horadada, on the border with Murcia. Its urban strip of golden sand is 270 metres long but only 5 metres wide on average, combining sand with seaweed in a stretch of calm waters and medium occupancy. The promenade, vegetation and the natural character noted in the entry complete its configuration. Access is easy on foot or by car from the N-332, with an urban bus service and basic facilities, including foot-washing facilities instead of showers and adapted resources.
