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 La Caleta is an urban cove in Cádiz, enclosed at either end by Castillo de Santa Catalina and Castillo de San Sebastián. The setting combines golden sand, a length of 450 metres and a width of 25 metres with usually calm waters and a landscape of historic monuments beside the seafront promenade. Its position in the town centre explains the high visitor numbers and concentration of services, including catering, tourism and nautical activities. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the A-4, with an urban bus and adapted access.
