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 Pormenande is a stony stretch of rounded stones and gravel, situated between mountains and vegetation within a ZEPA/Site of Community Importance (SCI) protected area. A small tombolo connects it on its right-hand side to the islet of El Rego, whose summit is reached by a path; this connection is its most distinctive feature. The beach is 190 metres long and 15 metres wide, with moderate visitor numbers and swell. Access is easy on foot or by car from the N-634, with fewer than 50 parking spaces. There are toilets, showers, food, cleaning and the possibility of diving.
