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 Gran de Pals comprises 2,860 metres of very coarse sand along a semi-urban coastline accompanied by a seafront promenade. Its great length and the partly urbanised character of the coast give it a clear identity in Pals, Girona. The listing also records nudism, a form of use worth mentioning alongside the physical data. Finally, it lists toilets, showers, food services, parking, bus service, lifeguarding and first aid, with access for people with reduced mobility and assisted bathing.
