San Lorenzo, Golden sand beach in Melilla, Spain
San Lorenzo is a Mediterranean beach with fine, golden sand extending along the waterfront. The shoreline offers calm water and a gentle slope into the sea, making it accessible to swimmers of different abilities.
The beach became an important gathering place for residents after Spanish settlement in the region. Over time, it developed into a focal point for local recreation and community life.
Local families gather at San Lorenzo beach during summer evenings to share traditional Melillan seafood dishes and participate in community activities.
The beach provides showers, restrooms, and sun lounger rentals with ample parking nearby. Access is straightforward from the main road, making it convenient for day visits.
The waters here remain unusually calm due to the beach's protected location, offering rare peaceful swimming conditions. This sheltered setting distinguishes it from other Mediterranean coastlines in the area.
