It serves as the gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The strait is also about 60 kilometers (37 miles) long from the Atlantic's open waters to the Mediterranean Sea.
Gibraltar is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. It lies directly across the strait from Morocco, approximately 13 kilometers (8 miles) away. This British Overseas Territory is strategically positioned at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, adjacent to Spain.
