Playa de la Barceloneta

It’s a bit of trek on two connecting metros (at least from my hotel) and about a 10 minute walk from the stop to the beach. But just to have the glorious sun touch my skin and along with the smell of the Mediterranean, makes it all worth it.
Right when I started to get comfortable, I hear, «Mojito mam fresh mojito?» Other vendors, proceeded with, ice cold beer??? Blanket? Massagiee? Braids?” It does run your zen while laying out. Until our time at Playa de Barcolenta I did not see any of the roaming vendors that were all over Rome. well with the exception of some trying to sell selfie sticks. But, at least the vendors here aren’t very aggressive unlike in Italy.
The beach wasn’t overly crowded on a Sunday around 1 or 2, but started to fill up more before we left. There are wash off stations and you can see the ultra mod W Hotel slightly in the distance. I heard guests there get their own private beach area. We did think about staying there but it’s so far from everything.
Way further down there is a nude beach, however, it is Europe, so there were plenty of tops coming off here. The sand isn’t super soft and there was some debris on the beach.
Playa de Barcolenta is a must go your first time, since it’s the main beach and great for people watching. Next time I may walk further down to one of the more secluded beaches. Oh, and another plus for this beach, if you get a little hungry on your walk back to the metro, there’s an amazing French fry shop on the way back. Until next time Barcelona!

I didn’t go on the sand part of the beach — but my girlfriend and I did rent a bike and bike along the complete stretch of this beach (this is really fun and would highly recommend if, especially if you want to check out the beach without actually going into it). It’s fairly crowded and seems very commercialized — and one of the roads to get to the beach is crowded and full of hawkers trying to sell you something.
This beach generally looks pretty well-​kept but crowded, but with a good amount of bathroom /​shower /​changing facilities available for anyone who comes. There are bike lanes on certain sections of the path along the beach.

I’m pretty surprised to see the star rating for this beach. Yes, I know there are other, less busy, less touristy beaches and had I had more time in Barcelona, I am sure I would have gone there. But famous beaches are famous for a reason and when in the city, I think it makes sense to visit them.
From the ‘big’ beaches at which I’ve spent time, Barceloneta reminded me most of Ipanema. The vibe was decidedly (at least to my experience) un-​self-​conscious. I didn’t notice anyone preening. I didn’t notice people being body insecure. There was just a mass of people enjoying the beach — on a Monday (in early fall; I would say that it wasn’t in season but I think all year, save for winter, is season in Europe). One thing, though: in the mass of all the people, it was pretty easy to spot the South American from the European from the (United States of) American. The people watching was as enjoyable as you might imagine.
From the walk from the train to the beach, I wasn’t harassed (don’t look like a tourist). No one tried to sell me anything (put on your bitch face and keep it moving). The restaurants and bars that dot the boardwalk leading to the water & sea sport high prices and food/​drink that isn’t of the highest quality but that’s exactly what is to be expected at the touristy beach. Caveat emptor and all that stuff. The views were gorgeous. To the distance is the W, which beckons/​taunts based upon your coin status. (way) Down the beach are more hotels, apartments and some artistic endeavors, showing that in addition to a tourist hot spot, Barceloneta is still a neighborhood where people live and work (something important to remember as one plows through the streets). In light of the beach’s popularity and all the warnings I’d been given, I found the area to be remarkably clean and the water was a gorgeous sea blue. I almost wished for nastier weather so I could have enjoyed the beach with a bit fewer people… but I doubt that’s ever the case.
You’re in Barcelona. Regardless of the time of year, you’re going to want to go to the beach. If you’re an (United States of) American, how often do you get to dip your toes in the Mediterranean Sea? Come here. Don’t be turned off by the reviews. You need to come here. Where else are you going to get a bomba?

Si hay algo genial que tiene Barcelona es que podes estar paseando por una de las ciudades más lindas del mundo y al rato salir de un sitio totalmente céntrico y estar en la playa. Sí, arena, mar y todo lo genial de la vida.
La Playa de la Barceloneta no será de lo mejor ni se acerca a eso, pero –como dije– tiene ese encanto de ser un bonito espacio natural a pasos del centro de la ciudad y eso está más que bueno.
Bueno, como imaginarán este lugar está generalmente lleno de gente, pero es un verdadero placer venir a la Playa de la Barceloneta y poder olvidarse de todo por un rato, contemplar el mar y poder relajarse un poco.

this area of Barcelona is a fantastic contrast to the rest of the city, great view, lovely area to walk around and relax some nice eateries and cafes
i was pleasantly surprised and wasted away a warm afternoon

The beach, in December!!! Absolutely. The weather was perfect and the beach was crowded with folks taking advantage of the extended warm weather on the public holiday of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception which is celebrated on Dec. 8^th each year.
While most of the beach goers were in their costs and such, we did see several a fee brave souls running of in short, and one gentleman in full speedo! His attire was only complemented by his full beard. A true Catalonia experience.
While on the beach you will be offered massages, blankets, alcoholic drinks and even fresh fruit. It was so neat go see the folks walking about with trays of fresh mojotos in one hand and a full bottle or rum in the other. While we denied all these services, it was great people watching.
There are tons of places to eat from your standard hot dog cart to high end seafood restaurants. There are several outdoor bars where you can grab a drink to go.
There are always tons of street performers too so you’ll end up getting a show from the Spanish Bob Marley (as we started calling him or another local trying their best to share their craft while making a buck.
Like the rest of Barcelona, the Playa is very clean and well maintained. Definitely worth a trip anytime of the year as there is always something happening!

Really, this city has Everything. In addition to the incredible sights, out of this world food, arts, culture and chill people, a Beach! Besides Venice, none of the other great cities has one — so this makes Barcelona the best.

Une plage tellement agréable, un endroit parfait pour promener, courir, faire du vélo…

C’est vraiment l’une des meilleurs plage du centre de Barcelone.
Avec un long parcours à vélo, running ou se balader, et une magnifique vue sur le port vell.
C’est l’endroit idéal pour se baigner si on né veut pas s’éloigner du centre de la ville.
L’eau est excellente pendant l’été, je me suis régalée.
Des restaurants pas loin pour se rafraîchir ou manger.
Excellente plage.

Tout pourri !!
Ici, au delà de la masse de gens entassés les uns sur les autres, cette plage est jonchée de détritus et regorge de vendeurs qui vendent paréos, bière, eau, massage. euh… quoi d’autre encore? Des cookies, de la noix de coco, bref, tout ! Donc pas une minute de tranquillité.
Il y a tellement mieux si on se donne la peine de marcher 15 – 20′ en plus, les plages de Nova Icaria et Bogatell sont tellement plus calmes et plus propres !

You will hear French, Catalan, the Queen’s English and a smattering of German. This is a well heeled crowd for a public beach, and during peak hours, it is a fairly young crowd, large groups of girls or boys, but rarely are they coed. In the morning, elderly men and women are already drinking beer and go full monty, although the nude beach is further down in Mar Bella. In the evening, the abuelitas return and promptly go topless. Crowds are dense. The sand, trucked in from Egypt, is gritty and yellow as cornmeal. The waves are boisterous as the general atmosphere. Everything is for sale. «Mojito sangria cerveza» becomes a drone like crickets in the summer. Asians massage you. Indians sell shawls and offer henna tattoos. Local women model a wrap pareo in myriad colors. African women braid your hair and sell bracelets. If you want a burger, get one at Makamaka. If you want paella, get it in the afternoon, not for dinner. There are plenty of places along Passeig Joan de Borbo. Go into Barceloneta a few blocks, and the tapas are only open before siesta. They have the freshest seafood. Get a beer in the evening at Vasa de Oro, or you can take the tram to Montjuic and get dinner in Poble Sec or Sant Antoni. The beach gets you everywhere you want to be.

Yo creo que esta playa está muy bien. Es cierto que hay muchos turistas, muchos vendedores y mucho trajín. Pero bueno, es parte de su encanto. Creo que es positivo tener una playa en plena ciudad, que cuente con un buen paseo, bastante limpia, y en la que si estás abajo no sientes el tráfico.
No es una playa idílica en la que buscar la máxima tranquilidad. Es una playa urbana a un paso del metro, por tanto muy práctica y en la que poder pasear por la arena o el paseo, o tomarse algo con vidilla alrededor.

Une belle plage à Barcelone mais très fréquentée et touristique! En avril, il fait malheureusement encore un peu frisquet pour s’aventurer en bikini sur la plage mais la digue est très agréable pour une petite balade!
Comme c’est une des plages les plus connues de la célèbre ville, les restaurants, bars et autres commerces à proximité n’hésitent pas à taper dans les prix!
En se promenant le long de la digue et en s’éloignant de Barceloneta, vous verrez qu’il y a moyen de trouver des établissements bien moins chers et tout aussi qualitatifs!
De nuit, le quartier balnéaire se transforme en un petit «Ibiza»… Les restaurants et bars se transforment en discothèques branchouilles et leur carte de boissons a pris du poids (+4 ou 5 € pour chaque boisson)! C’est pas le meilleur endroit pour sortir, surtout si le but, c’est juste de boire un ou quelques verres. Ici, on vient pour voir un DJ ou pour vraiment sortir «en boîte».

C’est agréable de pouvoir faire un peu bronzette sur la plage lors d’un city trip à Barcelone, mais bon, c’est fort rempli (je n’ose imaginer ce que ça donne en juillet/​aout) et assez bruyant avec tous les vendeurs qui crient «mojitos, cervezas, masaje» et cie toutes les 5 minutes.

One star less because of all the hawkers that kept interrupting– not just the view, but also the intrusion into the introspection that gazing at the sea inevitably invokes in me.
In no less than 5 mins, I was barraged by vendors asking if I wanted a blanket, a beer, a mojito, a foot massage, coconut pieces, etc and when I visited, it was Easter weekend in April, not even peak summer!
Also disappointed to see no seashells! Found out later that’s because it’s a man-​made beach with sand imported from Egypt! Can’t think what that does to the ecology of both regions!
Don’t get me wrong, reading the above might make it sound like it was a downer, which it wasn’t, but I do wish there were less hawkers!

Un sitio genial para hacer deporte. En Barcelona hay unos cuantos sitios ideales para la practica deportiva pero éste me encanta. Aquí se junta gente que sale a correr, bicicleta, con patines, con niños, etc. Los fines de semana a según qué horas puede ser complicado ya que hay bastante gente, Manu así merece la pena. Hay unas vistas espectaculares de toda la playa y se respira bastante mejor que por otras zonas de la ciudad, debido al humo del tráfico etc. La superficie esta bastante adecuada para la practica del deporte y además, una vez acabas siempre te puedes tomar un zumo en algún local, ya que hay bastante oferta. Para aparcar toca pagar zona azul o verde, pero si tienes ganas de ir un poco más lejos yo lo dejo siempre en un parking de tierra, ya muy cerca de la zona de diagonal mal. Así que cuanto más lejos lo dejes mas deporte haces y eso motiva. Es sin lugar a dudas mi zona favorita de Barcelona para practicar running.

I love Barcelona Beach. Seriously, when the sun is shining it’s just perfection. There are of course a number of beachfront restaurants and shops to explore but the real joy for me was to just sit in the sand, listen to the guitarist that was sitting nearby playing and enjoy the January sun on my back. Quite a treat. What didn’t make it so great was all the people who would come past trying to sell rugs, postcards, thai massages, and sangria or mojitos. They were relentless and we honestly got interrupted every three minutes. That kind of ruined the vibe a bit, but otherwise it was lovely and a great place to visit.

Barceloneta beach is definitely a very touristy, commercialized beach that is often packed with people. There are lots of shops, bars, restaurants, etc. nearby. However, I loved their little restaurants, especially the seafood there — delicious! The water was a bit cold when we visited (April), but it was beautiful and clear and looked like it would be great for swimming in when the weather got a little warmer. I loved the soft, clean sand and even in April there were tons of people playing volleyball, laying out on the beach, running along the beach, etc. It’s a great beach to take an evening walk on, and there’s even a metro stop that takes you basically right to the heart of Barceloneta.

Une plage en plein cœur d’une grande ville, ça fait rêver. Pourtant je reste très mitigée sur le lieu, qui n’est pas à couper le soufflé et peu dépaysant. De plus, j’ai été agacée par les incessants va et vient (toutes les deux minutes!!!) des vendeurs à la sauvette te proposant paréos, tattoos, bières et même MOJITOS! J’imagine qu’en plein été avec une bande de potes, ça peut être cool mais lorsque je vais à la plage, c’est pour me détendre et pas qu’on m’interpelle à chaque instant pendant que je lézarde!

An der Uferpromenade von Barcelonetta befinden sich überall Restaurants und direkt am Sandstrand auch zahlreiche Beachbars, ohne daß der Strand wie an der italienischen Adria (oder anderswo) dadurch überlaufen wirkt.
Abends dient die Strandpromenade zum Flanieren — also echt schönes, südländisches Flair!
Der Strand in Barcelona’s Stadtteil Barcelonetta besteht aus mehr oder weniger feinsandiger Konsistenz und bietet auf breiter Fläche für jung und alt Strandvergnügen an!
Man kann Liefen und Sonnenschirme anmieten, aber die Allermeisten liegen einfach nur so — wild — dort.
Es gibt Bademeister an bestimmten Strandabschnitten und in regelmäßigen Abständen sehr gepflegte Duschen und Reinigungsmöglichkeiten.

Le doy tres estrellas porque me encanta Barcelona y Barceloneta forma parte de la ciudad. Tener playa en una ciudad tan espléndida es la guinda del pastel, pero esa guinda es fea, saturada, de arena polvorienta y muy ruidosa. Tienes que estar constantemente vigilando tus cosas o escuchando los mil y un anuncios de vendedores ambulantes que cada 5 minutos interrumpen cualquier atisbo de tranquilidad.
Bien para pasear o ir a disfrutar de una terraza. Mal para intentar disfrutar de un día tranquilo con familia o amigos.

Walked to beach from hotel. Beautiful water warm enough to swim in. Some topless women and children. Fun time experiencing a Spanish beach

If a time comes and you find yourself in Barcelona, checking reviews for Playa de la Barceloneta, and reading this review right here –then put your phone down and go see for yourself!
Reading a Unilocal review about a man made beach isn’t going to justify what happens from one day to the next. However, if you need a review then keep reading:
To-​do:]
pack a day bag, grab a bocadillo, slam down your café con leche, and liberally apply sunscreen!
what to expect:]
if you don’t apply sunscreen you might burn.
if you don’t eat before you head out, you might find yourself hungry.
if you didn’t pack a towel, or a bag for that matter you might find that you will have to sit in the sand, or you have nothing to be stolen.
Great people watching, some people even come with their own soundtracks, sand will find its way into your secret spots, and topless tanning it totally the norm here!
Do not skip the coast while it is summer in Barcelona, take initiative, grab a morning pastry, and head to the beach for the beginning of your day.
Honorable Mention:]
after the playa go a few blocks away from the boardwalk and settle in at the closest bar. Start snacking on tapas and filling your belly with assorted adult beverages, as you are on vacation!

Saw lots of topless ladies… but no nudies. So, dare I go topless? Shurr why naht! When vacationing… do as the locals do– si? Si!
Great to walk through La Rambla market and end up here to soak up some sun after shopping n indulging in tapas n drinks. This beach is very crowded and busy. There are shops and restaurants galore along the beach. Lots of couples– young n old, families, and groups of friends come here. I felt pretty safe even though many warned me about pick-​pocketers.
My experience with the beach vendors was pleasant. Got drinks at a discount with extra shots… and they were pretty good (n strong).
The water wasn’t spectacular, bit it’s swimable water. The Caribbean waters are still my fave!

Even knowing ahead of time that Barceloneta is the most touristy beach in the whole area, I still came here to catch some sun and do some people watching on a Friday morning in May. We took the V17 bus to get down here and then had to walk for a bit to finally reach sand.
Barceloneta is a beautiful beach, with soft sand, beautiful water and lots of sailboats in the distance to be admired. Even though it was fairly busy, we still did not feel extremely crowded and were able to find a good spot to lay out close to the water. There are a ton of cafes, bars, etc along with multiple public restrooms here on the main strip of the beach, so it provides plenty to do besides just laying on the sand. As with most European beaches, it is topless and many women are participating in this, so if you are bothered by it in any way or want to keep it «family friendly», be warned. The reason this beach was knocked down an entire star in my opinion is due to the relentless, pesky beach sellers going around with their cerveza/​mojitos/​masaje/​rugs/​cola/​agua/​tatoo/​hair braiding/​sunglasses/​purses, etc. I mean, it’s ridiculous. They will try to sell you the same thing 10 times over and over and over until you are ready to punch them!
Despite the touristy attraction feel and the pesky beach vendors, Barceloneta beach is still beautiful and a fun place to come and see all kind of different people and enjoy the beautiful weather. Coming from my hometown in Clearwater beach which is one of the best beaches in Florida, it’s hard to be extremely impressed by other beaches, but this one was still somewhere I would return to again.

The beaches of Barcelona are world-​class. Second to none. Clean, wi-​fi enabled, massive promenade and walkway where people walk, run, ride bikes, skateboard, and sit on benches watching the world go by. The beach itself is incredibly clean — did I say this already — because its worth mentioning multiple times.
The great sandy line that stretches for miles along Barcelona’s coast is simply amazing. It’s got dozens of bars, places to eat and things to do (sea kayaking anyone?).
On this morning, an amazing thing happened. I was hanging out in one spot taking pictures and a guy approached me. He was a little rough around the edges, so I stepped back a half step (see my review of the Castleton Post Office for more on this reaction). Anyway, he came up to me and said «Listen… Listen» (more like «Leesan,» then more emphatically… «Leeeeesaaaan.») Then he backed up a couple of feet, stood on one foot and raised his arms into the air and gave peace signs to his imaginary and adoring fans. This guy was telling me something. I think I heard them too, given the power of his conviction. The moment was priceless and I got the shot. I thanked him, we laughed and he left.
Lots of good learnings from this moment. Its about not always having to take yourself to the world, but sometimes letting the world come to you. It will, but sometimes we make it more difficult because we’re a constantly moving target. Beaches always have this effect on me — introspection, but the beaches in Barcelona have it in spades.

Sandy beaches with tons of sunshine is always a good thing. And even for April it was hot enough to get both tourists and Spanish natives out. everything is great there on the beach, unless you’re sunburnt or being pestered by sellers of cocktails/​water/​massage/​tattoes/​rugs/​cola etc etc etc. These sellers are so irritating and if you even make eye contact they will keep coming back to ask you again and again if you want a cocktail or a massage. They even have the nerve to wake you up ‘pretty ladddeee’ to ask, grrrrr. I saw one guy pouring his drink of choice back into a 2 litre bottle to remae more with ice and lemon which i thought rather gross.
And beware too of pickpockets as there were lots and lots of people around and i would never get too much into the holiday mood you assume everyone is cool.
If you are into sports there seem to be a lot to do on the beach, cycling along the prom, water sking, volleyball. There is a sports centre near the W hotel which offer a lot of things to people who want to do more than top up their tans or blister their snow white bodies.

Der Strand von Barcelona wartet mit einem grobkörnigeren Sand auf, als man ihn beispielsweise von der Adria kennt. Dafür tritt man auf dem Weg zum Wasser nicht auf fiese Steine und nicht auf noch fiesere Muscheln. Etwas störend sind die vielen Ramschverkäufer. Diese habe ich in Verdacht, dass sie früher zu einer besonderen Art von Wattwürmern gehörten, die im Zuge der Industrialisierung Spaniens zu Verkäufern von schrecklichen Tüchern, hässlichen Rastalocken und vertrauensunwürdigen Mojitos mutiert sind. Blendet man die Wattwürmer aus dem Bewusstsein aus, kann man klares Wasser mit ringsum total entspannten Spaniern genießen.

This is a must-​see for visitors to Barcelona, but be very careful– thieves are abundant and remarkably swift. We (a group of mostly Italians and Greeks who are no strangers to pickpocketers) had two purses robbed, despite being there the entire time! If there are only two of you, it will be impossible to go in the water.
Cafes along the beach are great for people-​watching, but highly touristy and with blah food. Have a drink, but don’t eat here.

Tengo una relación de amor-​odio con la Barceloneta. Me encanta para pasear y tomar algo en días soleados de otoño, invierno y primavera. Pero he llegado a odiarla en verano.
Lo que sí tengo claro es una cosa: siempre merece la pena venir a pasear :)

Great beach, clean and deserted on a monday during the day, except the guy «sunbathing» in the nude when its 45 degrees and overcast :-/​
The water is very very gentle with small waves, great place for kids as long as nude guy is working that day.

Genial playa de la Barceloneta.
Si te vas hacia el hotel vela estarás mas tranquilo, pero cuidado donde te metes! q enfrente del Club Natació Barcelona está uno de los últimos reductos nudistas de la ciudad!

No es la mejor playa en la que he estado, pero si tiene un sentimiento nostálgico. Aquí he pasado muchas horas bajo el sol y dentro del agua al remojo.
La verdad que no se caracteriza por tener una agua muy limpia pero bueno para pegarse un chapuzón no esta nada mal y es que… ¿Que mas quieres? Estamos hablando de una playa de una ciudad como Barcelona.
Lo mejor de todo es que esta muy próxima a la parada de metro Barceloneta!

No te esperes la playa más bonita con el agua más transparente en la que te hayas bañado en tu vida… De acuerdo, la playa de la Barceloneta no será la más idílica, pero tiene otras cosas que hacen que tenga su peculiar encanto. Se trata de la más antigua de la ciudad, y se remodeló con motivo de las Olimpiadas del ’92, ya que teníamos que acoger a miles de turistas que estaban ansiosos de sol y playa. A mi personalmente me encanta porque se encuentra al final del barrio de La Barceloneta, uno de mis barrios preferidos (tanto para comer, pasear o ir a tomar algo). En verano, puedes ir a la playa por la mañana y después sentarte en una de las maravillosas terrazas que tienes en la zona. Eso sí, a horas puntas suele estar a reventar de gente. Dispone de un montón de centros deportivos para hacer actividades (volley, natación, surf, paddlesurf…). También debes saber que hay una área nudista, no te asustes si empiezas a ver a gente en bolas tomando el sol tan tranquilamente (me parece lo más esa libertad en la que probablemente sea la playa más importante y famosa de Barcelona, ¡olé!). Hace un par de años han edificado el Hotel W, y aunque muchos estén en contra por haber infringido la Ley de Costas, a mi personalmente me gusta y creo que le otorga un punto glamuroso a la playa y al paisaje.

An dem Strand kommt man sich vor als ob man am Hamburger Fischmarkt wäre. Jede Minute kommt einer rum und will einem was andrehen. Angefangen von Mochito, Pocito! was wie ein Hintergrundrauschen den ganzen Tag zu hören ist, zu Henna Tatoo, und Tücher. Wobei die Tücherverkäufer eigentlich Drogendealer sind, die mehr Pillen haben als jede Apotheke.
Trotzdem ist es der Beste innerstädtische Strand den ich je gesehen habe, sauber, tolles Wasser, super Sand, einfach zu erreichen und umsonst. Er ist natürlich sehr voll, aber sonst müsste ich halt Stunden aus der Stadt rausfahren um besseres zu finden, und manchmal ist es auch angenehm wenn man den Mochito an das Handtuch geliefert bekommt.

Una playa regular.
Definitivamente tras ver la playa de Valencia, esta se quedo corta tanto en ambiente y pulcritud. Lo que si es que es muy conveniente porque queda muy cerca de la estacion de metro y de mucho lugares para comprar snacks. Me costo 6 euros alquilar un parasol por todo el dia (aunque solamente lo use por 4 horas).
Una playa regular.

Plage la plus visitée de Barcelone mais c’est aussi un quartier populaire et typique espagnol: des petites rues à l’ombré et au frais très agréable pour y loger! D’ailleurs, à part les appartements en location (
) ou les auberges vous y trouverez aussi d’autres logements comme des bateau qui se loue à la nuit ;)

This playa in some ways reminds me of South Beach in Miami, except you don’t have to deal with Jersyfied d-​bags, it’s that much cooler since you are on the gorgeous Mediterranean and topless sunbathing is totally acceptable, and may I say, absolutely comfortable and liberating!
A wide and long strip of soft sand with Barcelona metropolis in the background. it can get pretty busy. If you are looking for some shade and refreshments, many café and small restaurant options are available.
I highly recommend renting a bicycle and strolling along the beach drive, the marina and the beautiful square at the end of La Rambla, as you start your trek towards the playa. You can also grab a beach chair and a guy will come around to collect 8 euro for the day.
We even found a small «Muscle Beach» — it was a kids playground, where guys would hang out, do at least five intense pull ups and then walk around giving each other quiet up nods :-) It was quite entertaining. Of course my bf, had to show off with some Crossfit skills, and was instantly the cool guy on the play ground, LOL.
Definitely add this as a day adventure on your trip to Barcelona.

Als Stadtstrand ideal. Keine Idylle, aber klare Funktionen. Und vor allem Bäcker etc. in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wenn man dann noch in Barceloneta in einem Apartement absteigt steht einer morgendlichen sowie abendlichen Erfrischung eigentlich nichts mehr im Wege.
Bei passendem Wind & Wellen lässt sich sogar direkt vor der Stadt surfen
Und die fliegenden Händler (Massage, Cerveca etc.) muss man halt einfach ignorieren

je mis suis rendu c’es une bélle plage. de barcelone .et les terasse son bombé tellement qui a du mondes jai passé frément une wend kend formidable. jaime beaucoups barcelone les gens son super sympas autrement quand france grande différence.les monument son super beau .et a apssolument a aller visiter

Breathe.
That is the smell of the Mediterranean Sea tickling your olfactory nerves, sending powerful synapses to your brain to release those endorphins putting you in a happy state.
Breathe.
That is the smell of your coconut scented SPF 45 suntan lotion. You may not be on a tropical island, but the warm sun is enough to make you believe that you are. (plus, those palm trees in the distance are pretty convincing too)
Relax.
With earplugs, sink into a deep slumber or take a short nap. But this beach is more for people watching: between the topless girls and the American frat boy hitting on the topless girls, you wouldn’t want to miss any of the action. Vendors abound here carrying trays of food/​drinks (donuts? samosas? mojitos?) or trying to coerce you into a half an hour massage. If beach volleyball is your thing, they have a set-​up for that, otherwise, throw a frisbee around. You can count on clean bathrooms, but no soap for washing hands.
The imposing W Hotel on the far distance makes for quite a view. After you’re done spending time here, stroll the boardwalk and check out the many tapas restaurants around you.

Ende Oktober. In Berlin liegen schon die Wintersachen griffbereit. Hier weht mir eine warme salzige Briese um die Nase. T-​Shirt Wetter. Am Meer ist einfach eine andere Welt. Sand, riesige Wellen, Surfer, gigantische Containerfrachtschiffe und die verdammt entspannte Art der Spanier.
Ganz egal ob ich einen Nachmittag in einer Strandbar verbummle, am Strand entlang schlendere oder den Leuten beim Nichtstun zuschaue. Hier geht es mir einfach gut. Schlagartig fällt der Stress von zuhause ab. Die spanische Lebensart ist ansteckend. Ein Glässchen Cava zum Frühstück mit saftigen Omlette? Geht immer. Oder schon die Vorfreude auf eine kühle Cerveza mit tausend leckeren Tapas in einer urgemütlichen Pinte mit guten Freunden.
Kann ich hier nicht einfach noch ein bisschen bleiben?

Plage sympathique et très hétéroclite, des hétéros, des homos, des nudistes et même des familles. La plage est surveillée jusqu’à 17heure30 en été en tout cas.
Par contre c’est un sable granite donc pensez plutôt à prendre un serviette pour s’essuyer et un style paréo pour s’allonger.

Leicht erreichbarer Stadtstrand — mit vielen Restaurants und Geschäften in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wer hier erholsame Einsamkeit sucht ist definitiv am falschen Platz. Der Strand ist sauber und es gibt befestigte Wege bis ans Wasser — für unsere Gruppe ideal, so konnten auch die Rollstuhlfahrer schwimmen gehen und anschließend die Strandduschen nutzen. Da nimmt man die vielen fliegenden Händler gern in Kauf.

Muy bien pero demasiada aglomeración de gente en verano!

Impresionante la transformación que ha sufrido la zona con motivo de los Juegos.
De pasar a ser una zona de pescadores, barrio pescador a ser una de las más modernas.
La playa está muy bien pero enseguida se llena.
Merece la pena pasear por el Paseo Marítimo.

Esta muy bien en cuanto a servicios pero siempre esta llena y muy colapsada, por lo menos en agosto. De noche es preciososaaa

La playa de la Barceloneta en verano siempre esta plagada de guiris y casi no se puede estar.
