THIS is the dramatic moment dozens of migrants stormed a Spanish holiday beach popular with Brits today - leaving naked sunbathers stunned.

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

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.

He said: "I hope the EU is working on a global policy on this: it may be our problem initially, but tomorrow, or in a week's time, or a month's, it'll be at the heart of Europe.

"We've never, ever, ever had 1,000 migrants arriving in Spain each weekend. And all this could just be for starters.

'There's a lot of the summer left and there are thousands and thousands of migrants arriving on the coasts of north Africa and thousands and thousands more who have been waiting to cross for months or years.

"We have to talk about the actions of people who come to our shores so that our area does not become the new Lampedusa of the Western Mediterranean."

Tarifa, which has a population of 120,000 has been unable to house all the migrants arriving this week, with some forced to sleep on rescue boats and in police cells.

Yesterday, 600 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa strormed a double border fence at Ceuta, with some throwing excrement or quicklime at security forces to force their way in.

A spokesman for the Guardia Civil police force in Ceuta said the migrants managed to climb over the double barrier, which is covered in small blades.

He said they scrambled over "all of a sudden, with much violence".

Some attacked police with quicklime they had in tubes and bottles, he added.

As a result, 'more than a dozen police' were injured with the substance, four of whom had to go to hospital for burns to their faces and arms.

Some of the migrants scaling the fences threw faeces at police officers trying to hold them back, Spanish news agency Europa Press reported, citing unidentified police sources and emergency crews.

The Spanish Red Cross said in a tweet it was called to check on 592 people after the massive charge.
