The 'ports' of Melilla and Nador are actually right next door to each other at Beni Ansar, separated by a fence. Land one side you are in Spain (Melilla), land the other side and you are in Morocco (Nador).

Ferries to Melilla are cheaper as the fares are subsidised by the Spanish government, but the border post highlighted on the map above is absolutely horrible and after three entries that way, on my last trip I decided to pay more and enter via Nador which as Chris writes is easy.
As an aside, I normally travel on my KTM 690 R which is equipped with mousses rather than inner tubes. On the last crossing the sea was a bit rough and the bike tied down so tightly it must have deformed the mousses. So for the first 10km it was like riding a rocking horse.
