When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.6/10 with highs of 27 °C, sea at 24.6 °C and 16 mm of rain.
In July that is 1.1 points above the median of the 2,246 beaches in Spain covered by this atlas.
At its warmest the water here is 2.8 °C warmer than the Spain median for August (23.2 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 19.3 °C, warmer than 57% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (83 mm) and July the driest (16 mm); the yearly total is about 580 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in December to 15.0 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 06:30 and sets at 21:13 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east (80°). Open water fills about 36% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 240° to 302°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the east about 300 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 3,631 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 12 m deep and 32 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 3 m above sea level 500 m inland and 17 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 48% built-up land, 24% grassland and 12% cropland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 48% of that circle.
- Built 48%
- Grass 24%
- Crop 12%
