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 de Xan-Xun is an isolated, elongated gravel beach just 10 metres wide and 180 metres long. It lies before a cliff in a vegetated setting within a Special Protection Area for Birds (ZEPA) and a Site of Community Importance (SCI). Its low use and strong waves reinforce the unequipped character of this coastal stretch. Access is difficult on foot from the N-632, and the listing records no infrastructure for staying. Puerto de San Esteban is given as the nearby port reference.
