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.

Playa Melide occupies an isolated location between Cabo Home and Cabo Pequeño, within a protected natural area. Its 275 metres of length and 40 metres of width form a white-sand beach surrounded by vegetation, with a mountain frontage; the usual conditions combine moderate waves and wind. The area includes anchorage and basic services. Access is by car or on foot via the road from Cangas to Cabo Home, part of which along the Costa de la Vela is unpaved.
