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.

Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa La Carolina, also known as Los Ingleses, is an isolated beach of golden sand and a mountainous coastal frontage, integrated into a Paisaje Protegido. Its 500 metres in length and 30 metres in width form a broad, long beach with vegetation and moderate waves, where remains of the breakwater from former esparto-grass boiling houses can still be found. Access is easy on foot, by car or by boat thanks to the nearby road; there is parking for between 50 and 100 spaces, cleaning, food and beach surveillance.
