The migrants landed on the shore of Del Canuelo beach, Costa del Sol, in a huge dinghy before charging across the sand

Naked sunbathers were left stunned as the migrants stormed onto the beach

Nude sunbathers watched in confusion as the group of more than 30 migrants sprinted into a surrounding forest to evade the pursuing Spanish border guards.

The migrants had just crossed the strait of Gibraltar having sailed from the coast of Morocco.

Their arrival came as the mayor of the nearby port of Algeciras warned that his town, Tarifa, is at the centre of a "new migrant crisis" after 1,000 arrivals flooded it last week.

José Ignacio Landaluce warned his town risked becoming "the new Lampedusa", referring to an Italian island which has been overrun with migrants.
