Playa El Tarajal, Olive sand beach in Ceuta, Spain.
Playa El Tarajal is an urban beach along the Mediterranean coast featuring olive-colored sand mixed with small pebbles. The water typically has moderate waves, and the shoreline offers views of the surrounding city and landscape.
This location has been shaped by centuries of maritime trade and contact between European and African cultures. Its position at a border crossing has defined its role throughout history.
Local people come here to swim and spend time together, making it a social hub where daily life blends European and African elements. The beach reflects how residents of this territory maintain their connection to the Mediterranean.
The beach has basic facilities including restrooms and waste bins, making it easy to access from nearby roads. The area receives regular cleaning to keep it in good condition.
