This place in Melilla is a great spot for a day at the shore. It has a large sandy area and amenities during the summer months. Although it could use some modernizing and better litter control, there are plenty of cafes and eateries nearby with a range of options.

This beach is not an ideal spot for a stroll. The sand is too coarse and the waves are too choppy to make it a pleasant experience. Additionally, there is no shade, so it can be quite uncomfortable in the hot sun.
