Playa San Amaro, Urban beach in Ceuta, Spain
Playa San Amaro is an urban beach along Ceuta's coast with golden sand mixed with gravel and a gently sloping shoreline. The narrow strip extends about 280 meters and remains suitable for swimming throughout the year.
The beach grew alongside Ceuta's expansion as a key port city and remains an important coastal area in the region. Its position shaped how the city developed from the start.
The beach draws residents from different cultural backgrounds who gather here as part of daily life. It reflects the mixed community that characterizes the city itself.
Access to the beach is via the N-352 road and regular cleaning maintains good conditions. It is best to visit during daylight hours when other visitors are present.
The beach sits at a higher elevation with views across the Mediterranean toward the nearby Monte Hacho fortress in the distance. This combination of water and fortification creates an unusual urban backdrop.
