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 Punta del Río, also known as La Cagaílla, is a long, narrow coastal strip associated with an agricultural-use area. It extends for 1,200 metres and continues into the municipality of Motril, with a width of 30 metres and a surface described as dark gravel. The landscape combines vegetation and wetland, features that explain its isolated character and low occupancy. Access is on foot, with an urban bus connection and cleaning and mooring services associated with Club Náutico de Motril.
