Water Quality

Water quality classification: Excellent. The beach belongs to a coastal water mass (code CW Costera) in good ecological status. Monitoring commenced in 1987. Three direct discharge points identified: Acequia Mitgera (mixed origin, high risk, continuous discharge), Acequia Sangonera (mixed origin, high risk, continuous discharge), and Acequia Nova (mixed origin, medium risk, continuous discharge). Potential short-duration contamination factors include low-frequency rainfall, urban sanitation, and coastal discharges, all assessed as having low frequency and mild impact.
