03 · Location

In context.

A sheltered bay beach of dark/grey sand, about 800 m long, tucked inside the Bay of Algeciras with consistently calm, flat water and no surf break. An artificial reef sits offshore to support marine life. Better suited to swimming, paddleboarding and watercraft hire than surf or wind sports, and preferred locally when strong easterly winds affect Mediterranean-facing beaches. Lifeguards operate 12:00-20:00 (10 June-10 Sept), with a Cruz Roja post on site.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
