One of the most renowned nudist beaches in Barcelona, Mar Bella beach is located next to Bogatell beach and stretches 500 m in length. With a specific nudist section, which is easily recognisable, this urban beach is the top choice for many thanks to its selection of shops, bars and restaurants.
The closest metro stops are line 4, Selva de Mar and Poblenou. From Plaça Catalunya you can also take the h26 bus.
Platja de Sant Sebastià, Barcelona
Although nudism is allowed on this central beach, changes to the area have meant it’s become less common in recent years. Despite this, it’s still one of the top urban nudist beaches in Barcelona along with Platja de la Mar Bella. It also offers great accessibility for those with reduced mobility.Get the L4 (yellow line) to Barceloneta.
Platja del Coco, Badalona
One of the most popular nudist beaches in Barcelona, Platja del Coco boasts almost 1-km of soft sand to enjoy near the Port of Badalona. Here you’ll find both nudists and non-nudists bathing side by side. During the week this urban beach is perfect for those looking for a quieter area away from the crowds. However expect it to get busy on summer weekends.
This beach is easily accessible by train, bus and metro from Barcelona city centre.
Platja d’Ocata, Masnou
This beautiful beach only 20 minutes from the city centre is one of the coolest nudist beaches in Barcelona. What’s more, it’s easy to get to and boasts tranquil, calm waters. It has a specific nudist section stretching 200 m where bathing suits are optional. There’s also a selection of beach and water sports for you to try your hand at while you’re there!
Platja de l’Aiguadolç, Vilanova i la Geltrú
This 2-km beach of gorgeous golden sands is one of our favourite nudist beaches in Barcelona, in the town of Vilanova i la Geltrú. It has parking shared with the neighbouring beach of Sant Gervasi, but getting a space might be difficult on weekends. So we recommend you get there early!
Platja de Ponent, Premià de Mar
Platja de Ponent is one of the four of the Premià de Mar beaches. This small nudist beach near Barcelona is a semi-urban beach, making it a little more private than some of the others on our list.

Platja de la Ricarda, El Prat
One of the nudist beaches in Barcelona with the most crystal-clear waters, Platja de la Ricarda is the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city beaches.

Platja de L’Home Mort, Sitges
One of the nudist beaches in Barcelona located in Sitges, this one has something special about it: it was the first gay nudist beach in the world. This small cove is perfect for those seeking privacy. It’s best accessed by car, but is also on the hike route from Sitges and Vilanova if you like to add a walk in to your trip to the beach.
With no bars or cafés it’s an unspoiled paradise, therefore great care should be taken to take all your rubbish home.
Cala Morisca, Sitges
Also in Sitges is this small and intimate nudist beach, nested under the cliffs of El Garraf. This hidden cove is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet away from the crowds. Again, it can only be accessed by car and it has a parking area which is rather expensive – given it’s the only option.

Nudity of Barcelona
Being in Barcelona, you are encompassed by the gorgeous Mediterranean beaches.
Barcelona beaches can be considered ¨urban beaches¨, meaning popular city beaches. During the hot summer months, these beaches are a main tourist attraction, it is important to know what you may be getting yourself into… nude beaches. All Barcelona beaches share a special atmosphere that you will never experience elsewhere. With that being said there are two nudist beaches in Barcelona!
Mar Bella Beach
Mar Bella beach is located on the northern end of Barceloneta. There is a large sand dune here that separates it from the rest of the beach. This area is home to the local and international gay scene. This beach is a huge attraction and has an area for naturists and attracts a crowd from all walks of life.

Topless In Barcelona
Their bikini off… This is a typical and usual activity, but newcomers may be surprised. It is common to see women go topless at any beaches in the city, but full nudity is reserved for the two nudist beaches. There is no large physical separation between the nudist and traditional beaches. In other words you can walk along the city beaches and see naked people in Barcelona walking and hanging out amongst clothed people.
To each his own and the relaxed environment lets everyone enjoy their time!
Good Tips:
Going to a nudist beach is definitely an experience. If you have never been to a nudist beach before, why not check it out while you are in Barcelona? Just by walking along Barceloneta, you may end up here anyways. Typically full nudist’s beaches are more secluded or separated from the rest of the beach.
It is common for people to feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea of a nude beach but it can really help you find confidence within yourself. Once you are there you will realize how open-minded people can be and how it is in our nature to be nude. It is the social norms that have been implemented that make us hesitate at the thought of a nude beach. But come on, you are in Barcelona! Give it a shot! Barcelona ranks alongside Spain´s most popular destinations for vacation. With seven beaches to offer, there are those to cater for every class of person, don’t let the nudity interfere with a great experience!
If you are looking for a good place to stay, Sant Jordi Hostels – Rock Palace is the best option for anyone who wants to have fun and meet people in Barcelona.

Barcelona Nudist Beaches – Barcelona10
It’s no secret that Europe and Barcelona in particular is a land of freedom. Freedom from internal complexes, other people’s opinions, free choice of a partner or partner. Freedom manifests itself in everything: in the form of a greeting, in the form of a conversation, in the clothes that Europeans wear, in the color and shape of their hair, in the manner of presenting their body. Most of all, this freedom can be seen on city beaches. Here you will not surprise anyone with sunbathing topless girls and women.
But for some, the nudist beaches of Barcelona will be a good find, but for some it’s the other way around. 🙂
Nudist beaches in Barcelona are scattered along the coast, which allows anyone who wants to find their own, paradise close to their hotel.
La musclera beach – Arenys de Mar
Arenys de Mar is a district in the vicinity of Barcelona. If you are planning an active holiday or a trip along the coast, then it is better to rent a car right away, it will be more profitable and more convenient. You can choose a car and see prices here.
The quiet sandy beach of La musclera is located north of Barcelona. Its length is over 600 meters. This strip of sand between the rocky shore and the boundless seascape attracts both couples and young people.
We are used to wild nude beaches, but not in Barcelona. Like most ordinary beaches, La Musclera has everything you need for a comfortable stay: shower, toilet, rental of sun loungers and umbrellas.
Address: Passeig de la Musclera, 12, 08350 Arenys de Mar
Platja de la Picòrdia – Arenys de Mar allows you to freely surrender to swimming in the rays of the Mediterranean sun in the costumes of Adam and Eve without the prying eyes of people in swimsuits. La Picordia is ideal for lovers of a secluded and relaxing holiday.
Address: Ctra. Port, 33, 08350 Arenys de Mar
Mar Bella Beach – Barcelona
The most popular urban nudist beach in Barcelona with a length of over 500 meters. Mar bella is located next to the popular non-nudist Bogatell beach. On the territory there is a shower, a toilet, a sports area, basketball and volleyball courts, a playground, cafes and bars.

Platja Naturista Beach – El Prat De Llobregat
In the area of El Prat airport, a little far from civilization, more than 400 meters stretched Platja Naturista, which is translated from Catalan means “nudist beach” and the name speaks for itself.
The beach gathers lovers of merging with nature from all over Barcelona and its environs. As it should be on a real wild beach, you will not find any special entertainment, except for the toilet and shower necessary for a civilized vacationer. Perhaps the only thing that violates the harmony of man and nature is the proximity of the airport, the noise of planes taking off and landing sometimes dispels solitude and silence.
Address: 08820 El Prat de Llobregat
Platja De La Mora – Badalona
Another urban nudist beach. Located even further away from noisy Barcelona – in the city of Badalona. The beach is equipped with everything that a good city beach can be equipped with.
