This is the astonishing moment drug smugglers beach their boat by stunned tourists after a Miami Vice-style sea chase.

The men were filmed heading towards the sand at speed and narrowly missing parasols sunseekers had moved away from in a hurry as they rammed it into dunes.

They jumped out of the vessel - a so-called narcolancha used to smuggle cannabis from Morocco into Spain - as police who had been pursuing them radioed to colleagues to scramble response vehicles.

Two of the men were arrested as they tried to make their getaway but the others escaped.

The extraordinary scenes happened on Monday on a packed beach called Los Enebrales in Punta Umbria in the south-west Spanish province of Huelva near the country's border with Portugal.
