San Lorenzo, Golden sand beach in Melilla, Spain
San Lorenzo extends for 240 meters along the Mediterranean coast, featuring a 100-meter width of fine sand and moderate waves.
The beach has maintained its position as a central recreational space in Melilla since the Spanish established their presence in North Africa during the 15th century.
Local families gather at San Lorenzo beach during summer evenings to share traditional Melillan seafood dishes and participate in community activities.
The beach provides essential facilities including showers, restrooms, sun lounger rentals, and over 100 parking spaces, with direct access from road ML-106.
