City beach

Lovely beach not the best in Barcelona but easy to get too on the L4 line, be aware of a lot of beach vendors trying to sell you things.

Enjoyed the boardwalk if you didn’t want to lay down on sand but still wanted to have views walking along the boardwalk is the next best thing.

Much quieter

As others have said this is a much quieter beach than others nearby. It doesn’t have as many facilities as busier beaches, but these are walkable if needed.

A little further out

This beach was quite a walk away from Barceloneta, but the further you get the quiet the beaches. Not as many facilities as closer to the main part of the city, but bring drinks and hope you don’t need the toilet!

Easy going beach for naturists AND non-naturists

A rarity to find a clothes optional beach so open and easily accessible in an urban area. Nice Sandy beach. Sea was clear and warm. Very open and relaxed feel. Seemed genuinely inclusive of all, whether in swim wear, topless, naked, or male/female etc. part of the beach was more screened and part not but genuinely no-one seemed bothered by nor interested in who was wearing what, whether they were on the beach, at the bar, the toilets/showers or just walking past.

A good option for a mix of naturists and not.

Beach with good amenities

We went here for the morning while it wasn’t too busy, nice Sandy beach and warm sea. There are showers and toilet facilities nearby and also a lot of bars and restaurants/fast food. Nice to relax and go in the sea but you will be pestered by the beach sellers trying to sell drinks and things

Beautiful Beach, BUT many thieves there

We went to the beach to spend the day there and get into the water. We read on the reviews to watch out for thieves waiting to take your things if you’re not watching them. We didn’t realize how many people are actually pacing back and forth looking to see what you have and wait for you to leave your stuff unattended. After watching them for several hours, we figured out that they have these blankets they are selling, but it’s actually their flag to signal other people working with them that items are left unattended. They open the blanket like presenting it, but its marking their location and another individual that sells water or beer will go check it out and get real close to the items and see if he could take them. They also sell bottle water for 5 euros which is ridiculous so if you want a bigger and cheaper water, go into the restaurant. The beach itself and water were great, but having to constantly worry about these thieves takes the relaxation away from the beach. They did scatter like roaches when the police came by, but come back out when they left. I think if they had police constantly or stationed there, the beach could be really wonderful. Oh it is legal for women to go topless so just a FYI.

Barcelona beaches: Your guide to picking the best stretch of sand

CNN
—

cms.cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/paragraph_C05C8BC9-45D1-843F-227A-AB15AC4BB0FA@published” data-editable=”text” data-component-name=”paragraph”>
Even without its beaches, Barcelona would be one of Europe’s coolest destinations thanks to its groundbreaking food scene, unique architecture and legendary nightlife.

But the cherry on the sundae is the three-mile strip of nearly continuous golden sand, which is so wired into its heart that it’s like the entire city’s backyard.

Much of the seafront buzzes with a carnival atmosphere year-round, with hawkers tiptoeing around sunbathers to sell cold cans of beer, beach blankets and chintzy trinkets.

Along the pedestrian promenade that runs the length of the waterfront, musicians, street performers and sand sculptors compete for tips among a constant stream of strolling tourists and locals to this part of Spain.

Weaving around them are bikes, Segways, skateboards, motorized scooters, rickshaws, rollerbladers and every other wheeled contraption imaginable.

The most popular beaches are only a 15-minute walk from the tangled alleys of Barcelona’s oldest area, and the quieter ones to the north are easily accessible by public transit.

Meanwhile, there’s something for every type of beachgoer, from the partying weekender to the family man to the bronzed sunbather looking to relax with a book.

Here’s your guide on how to find your kind of beach in the capital of Catalonia:

No matter which beach you choose, the Mediterranean sun shines down about 300 days a year, so you’ll always have at least some company. The beaches really start to come alive in April, when dozens of chiringuitos, or beach bars, sprout up along the coastline, and vendors begin renting out umbrellas, lounge chairs and sports equipment.

Another bonus: A public bathroom or outdoor shower is never that far away.

Barceloneta Beach is at the heart of it all, and here’s where to come if you’re in the mood for a party.

Walk from its namesake metro stop down Passeig Joan de Borbo, past the superyachts docked in the marina, and you’ll arrive at Sant Miguel. It won’t take long to notice the upbeat music playing among sunburned tourists who’ve spent a bit too much time flagging down vendors for watered-down mojitos.

Barceloneta is to the north of the 30-foot stack of steel and glass cubes, a statue called The Wounded Shooting Star.

Both beaches are part of one continuous strip, but the top half takes its name from the adjacent neighborhood. It’s traditionally been a fishing quarter but now struggles with an overflow of short-term rentals, which explains both the crowds and the blue and yellow flags signaling neighborhood pride that dangle from almost half the balconies.

That bit of tension, however, is hardly evident out on the beach, which maintains a laid-back vibe despite the tourist throng.

The action continues well into the night, when groups of young locals come for an affordable night of hanging out under the floodlights strumming guitars and drinking beers.

Sant Sebastia: At the heart of Barcelona’s beach scene.

Shutterstock

This beach is close to the center of action – just to the south of Barceloneta near the sail-shaped W Hotel – but it’s generally quiet enough to still hear the light shoosh of small, lapping waves over the bicycle bells ringing on the promenade.

Sant Sebastía is one of the oldest swimming areas in the city, and the Club Natació here began hosting dips for the elite in the early 20th century. That history, plus the convenience to the center of town, draws an older crowd and families in the morning. By the time the sun hits its afternoon peak, the crowd gives way to a more boisterous gathering.

15 of the world’s best nude beaches

The beach is also home to the Pukas Surf School, evidence that on days after a storm, surfers come to vie for modest waves. On calmer days paddleboarders and windsurfers dot the horizon. (Avenida Zurriola 24, 20002 San Sebastian; +34 943 320 068)

Be aware that it’s clothing-optional, so you’ll see your fair share of nude sunbathers who don’t care at all about hundreds of people walking within ogling distance.

In fact, Sant Sebastía has always been liberal and caused quite a stir when it became the first bathing area in the city to allow men and women to swim together.

Somorrostro: Popular with the fashionable crowd.

Shutterstock

This area sits between the outdoor exercise pier that marks the north end of Barceloneta and the twin towers of the Port Olympic. Until the mid-20th century Sorromostro hosted a shantytown that housed up to 15,000 people, but now it’s home to the coastline’s fanciest restaurants.

A fashionable crowd lounges on plush sun chairs underneath Frank Gehry’s lacy, bronze fish statue, nibbling elevated takes on traditional tapas and sipping sangria (try it with sparkling cava instead of wine). Just make sure to put a shirt and shoes back on before trying to get in.

The best beaches in European cities

For those who prefer to pass on the pricey cocktails, there are still drink and ice-cream kiosks, and the marina at the north end of Somorrostro beach has a number of restaurants offering more bang for your buck.

There are a couple of fast-food chains and a number of reasonable Middle Eastern options to provide some variety to your Spanish vacation diet of cured ham, olives and fried croquettes.

Nova Icaria: Once an industrial wasteland, now prime beachfront.

Shutterstock

It’s hard to believe that these beaches were an industrial wasteland before the city tore up seaside train tracks ahead of the 1992 Olympics.

Sand was imported from Egypt, and a center of beach sports was born. Each summer, the city sets up dozens of volleyball courts along this stretch north of the Port Olímpic but some stay year-round at Nova Icaria. They’re free to use, so come early or be prepared to wait. On weekend mornings, you’ll also find lessons available.

The line of chiringuitos extends to both beaches, but they also host a handful of proper restaurants along the Passeig de Maritim, where local families come to share a paella on Sunday afternoons.

At the north end of Bogatell, the Nautica Base Barcelona offers lessons for windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing plus kayaks and catamarans that shove off from a pier into open water, past all the swimmers. (Av. del Litoral, s/n, 08005 Barcelona; +34 932 21 04 32)

There’s also a no-frills cafe that’s good value compared to many of the other beachfront places.

The ease of access to two more Metro stops and the variety of activities make these a good option for families without a car, or for a vacationer looking for a more relaxed atmosphere than the packed beaches to the south.

Mar Bella: Where Barcelona’s beach scene gets laid back.

Pau Barrena/AFP/Getty Images

From Mar Bella and farther north, things tend to be even quieter, cleaner, and with fewer vendors walking the beach. Both Mar Bella and Nova Mar Bella, one beach north, have been designated as blue-flag beaches for their quality. They’re also less obviously attached to the city, though still well served by public transit.

Besides pristine sand and the cleanest segment of water in the city, Mar Bella also displays another example of the city’s liberal attitude. On one end of the beach is a rope pyramid for kids and a small playground with a slide; on the other is a nudist section.

What are the best cities for swimming?

Unlike at Sant Sebastía, a man-made hill separates the nude area of the beach from the pedestrian promenade, which runs next to a park where you can seek some midday shade. The park also has a network of skateboard ramps used mostly by kids on razor scooters, which is always fun for people-watching.

This beach also draws gay sun worshipers and a beach bar called Chiringuito BeGay opens here up every summer. But it’s a mixed crowd, so all are welcome. (Paseo Marítimo de la Mar Bella, s/n, 08005 Barcelona; +34 608 30 24 54)

Llevant: Great for family days out.

Josep Lago/AFP/Getty Images

Amenities like restaurants become a little more sparse in these northernmost beaches, though there are still bathrooms and showers. But what is lacking in services is made up with parking. A 15-foot-high wall separates the beach from the car lots and the most modern towers of Barcelona’s skyline, so it’s still easy to focus on the clear Mediterranean.

21 of the world’s most beautiful beachfront hotels

Other than the ease of shuttling the kids to shore, other activities make it an ideal destination for a family with a car to spend a full day. In the morning you could hit up the Bosc Urbà, which is Catalan for urban forest, a covered adventure park in the Forum complex with zip lines, bungee cords and rope bridges. (Parc del Forum, s/n, 08019 Barcelona; +34 931 17 34 26)

A few blocks away from the sea, there’s the Museu Blau, a natural science museum that recently featured an exhibit on the Spinosaurus, “the lost giant of the Cretaceous.” (Plaza Leonardo da Vinci, 4-6, 08019 Barcelona; +34 932 56 60 02)

There are also play areas for kids, beach volleyball courts and clubs where senior citizens play dominoes or cards. A sand-free swimming area called Banys Forum sits just to the north, enclosed by piles of concrete blocks with steps that lead into the water.

Normal

We lived in a hostel right on the beach. Therefore, in the morning before going for a walk around the sights, we first swam in the sea. The water is clean, there are showers and toilets. By evening, a lot of people crowded on the beach, so in the evening we went for a walk along the promenade. If you play sports, bring running shoes and sportswear with you: a lot of people run along the promenade throughout the day.

Izhevsk, Russia There are very few here.) The beach is wide and clean. Everything is there, but why they don’t put changing cabins, I don’t understand. Garbage is removed, sand is washed off from a fresh shower. Police pass by from time to time.

Relaxing way to spend a day or afternoon

My husband and I rode bikes to this beach. It’s not close to El Born or the Gothic Quarter. Some beaches are within walking distance, but this one is a bit further. We went to the part of the beach where the Mokai restaurant and bar is located. We were there once in the morning and another time in the afternoon. If you arrive earlier, it is easier to find free sunbeds and umbrellas. Later it is more difficult to find free ones or you may have to go to another part of the beach. A sun lounger costs 6 euros, an umbrella – also 6 euros. You can order food and drinks at Mokai. My husband ordered a regular hamburger and I ordered a veggie burger. Both were surprisingly good. I think our full bill with two soft drinks was 25-30 euros. Beer costs 5-6 euros. We enjoyed the beach. The water was refreshing. On one of the days there were no waves at all, but after a couple of days there were waves. There are a lot of people, but there is room for accommodation. A lot of smokers, which bothered us, because we are not used to smoke. If you want to relax after sightseeing, spend some time on the beach!

Beach for families

Sant Miquel is an expensive, popular, urban beach in Barcelona. Two sun loungers and an umbrella will cost 60 euros (20 + 20 + 20), you can not take it or bring it with you, everyone decides for himself. The water is clean, the territory is cleaned, there are many vacationers with children. There is one common toilet, in which there is a constant queue, there are no changing cabins. There is a cafe nearby, the waiters from which bring your order (drinks, food) directly to the beach, you can pay with a card, which is very convenient.

Barcelona beaches, how to get there, amenities, photo

Barcelona beaches stretch along almost the entire city, excluding the port area. The beaches in Barcelona are sandy, so the sand, alas, is just on all things and in the bag after the beach.

Beach Afro-Spaniards rule the rental of umbrellas and sunbeds, as well as walk along the beach and offer different goods.

There are no free changing rooms on the beaches. There is a toilet, many people change clothes there, I saw offers, a shower and a dressing room 4 euros. There is a free outdoor shower on these beaches – this is a shower without cabins, just rinse with fresh water after the sea.

You can get to the beach by metro on the yellow line, there are a lot of people, the farther from the city center the less people on the beach.

Swimming season calendar

The beach season in Barcelona usually starts on March 15th and lasts until November 15th, during which time all beach facilities are fully operational. The high season falls on the period from May 31 to September 28 – there are a lot of people on the beach at this time.

The following is a description of the beaches from the port to the outskirts of the city.

Sant Sebastia Beach

Located in close proximity to the very expensive five-star W hotel, which has become the hallmark of Barcelona (it can be seen from the plane), there are fewer people on it than on the popular Barceloneta. There is a surf club nearby. There are all types of amenities except changing rooms: showers, lifeguards, bars, as well as good access for people with disabilities and wheelchairs.

Barceloneta Beach – Barcelona’s most popular beach

This is by far the most popular beach in the Catalan capital. It is in close proximity to the sights of the Gothic Quarter. You can combine sightseeing and beach holidays.

Street showers on the beach in BarcelonaBarceloneta Beach July 2015

There are no changing rooms on the beach, everyone changes clothes in the toilets, so there is always a queue.

The queue for the toilet

There are cafes on the beach, there are grocery stores near the beach where you can buy food and drink at humane prices. Life is in full swing here from early morning until late at night, the authorities even put up a poster “Free the beach by 24-00, give us the opportunity to clean up the beach.” (free translation). Barceloneta is the nearest beach in the city and the easiest way to get to this beach is via the yellow metro line. The walk from the city takes about 20 minutes.

Barcelona Beach

Barceloneta is a wide long beach with many mostly American style restaurants and bars. Located along the entire waterfront to the Olympic port in the famous and old seaside area of the same name. On the one hand, it adjoins the beach of Sant Sebastia, on the other hand it is limited by the Olympic port.

These beaches have a large patrol of lifeguards from the local police, especially during the summer season.

La Nova Icária

This is the beach next to Barcelona’s Olympic Port. The Olympic port is located on the border of this beach. The symbol of the port is a huge copper fish, the work of Frank Gehry, who is also the author of the memorial at the site of the destroyed World Trade Center in New York. Gehry also designed a massive 14,000 square kilometer mall at the base of the 45-story Hotel Arts. Today it is one of the most prestigious hotels in the city of Barcelona. This beach is considered one of the quietest in the city, ideal for families with children.
