City Beaches

The boardwalk along Barcelona's seashore is rather long. The walk from Barceloneta to Diagonal Mar will take you about an hour, but it will give you a better understanding of the city. The busiest and most popular beaches in the west, notably Sant Sebastià, are backed by the compact Barceloneta neighborhood's hip stores and bars with terraces and outdoor seating.

After the Olympic Port, you'll discover a little more space and more locals as you continue along the shore. Finally, the enormous and brand-new Diagonal Mar mall is located immediately above Platja de Llevant and has revitalized a formerly industrial area of the city.

Within Barcelona's city borders, there is 4.5 km of shoreline, providing you with a wide range of options and all the beach time you require. You might want to play volleyball, swim in the Mediterranean, or engage in any number of activities with the term "surf" in them.

You might also want to come in touch with nature. Or perhaps you want to avoid leaving without the ideal tan. Many of the city's beaches include beach bars (also known as chiringuitos), where you may escape the sun and relax in the shade while sipping a cool snack or cocktail. They transform into fantastic little party spots at night, complete with excellent music and moods.
