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 Timijiraque stands out as one of the island’s few sandy beaches and for its proximity to Puerto de la Estaca. Its 350-metre length and 20-metre width are formed by dark sand, in a semi-urban setting with a promenade, vegetation and a broad protective framework including Site of Community Importance (SCI), ZEC, protected landscape and Biosphere Reserve. Occupancy is medium and the swell moderate; the source also notes its popularity among surfers. Access is easy on foot or by car, with parking, interurban bus service, showers, litter bins and a surf area.
