This is an official forecast for the stated period, not an observation taken at the beach.

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.

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa La Restinga occupies a small shore of dark sand and gravel in the fishing village of La Restinga, home base of the island’s fleet. Its dimensions are modest—50 metres long and 10 metres wide—but the urban seafront includes a promenade, moorings and calm waters, within a Biosphere Reserve. Occupancy is medium and access is easy on foot, with parking for more than 100 vehicles. Restaurants, diving centres, showers, foot-washing facilities and a tourist office complete the practical facilities.
