Liido Beach, Public beach in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The beach extends for 8.7 kilometers along the Somali Sea, featuring white sand and waters suitable for swimming throughout the year.
Italian colonists established this coastal area in the 1930s, expanding it during the 1950s with the addition of a prominent hotel.
Local vendors line the shore selling traditional Somali dishes, particularly fresh seafood caught by fishermen from neighboring communities.
Multiple restaurants and hotels border the shoreline, with peak visiting hours occurring during morning and late afternoon to avoid midday heat.
The beach forms part of Somalia's 3,100-kilometer coastline, which ranks as the longest continuous shore in mainland Africa.
