Our tour of the beach in Barcelona will begin with the most famous beach of the capital of Catalonia - from the beach of Barceloneta (Barseloneta). This beach is an excellent place for active rest and interesting communication.
Barceloneta beach can rightly be called the center of tourist concentration. Vacationers from all over the world, and local residents, by the way, too, do not accidentally prefer it to him - he is the most extended, wide and hospitable. The beach is equipped with rescue towers, shower cabins, playgrounds and toilets. In the special center, located on the beach area of Barseloneta, you can rent sun beds, umbrellas and other beach equipment. Everything is for recreation here
There are no problems with tourists on the Barcelonet - the place does not lack the number of restaurants and bars. In addition, on the beach walk street vendors, mostly Arabs, offering to buy from them mineral water, beer, cigarettes and various snacks. So you are unlikely to stay hungry. However, dealing with beach vendors, be careful - there is a risk of remaining without valuable things.
By the way, lifeguards on the entire coast of Barcelona are only working until 19.00, however, at the same time they close their doors and beach toilets. So it is better to be given to the sun and the sea until this time, which is certainly safer and more convenient.
You can walk to the Barceloneta beach from the center on foot, spending about 20 minutes on the road, on land transport - many buses and T4 trams run to the beach or on the metro. Exit the metro at the stations of Barseloneta or Vila Olimpika.
Beach, equipped for people with disabilities
The beach of Sant Sebastiá, adjacent to the Barseloneta beach on the northern border, has a good location for people with disabilities from the rest of the beaches of Barcelona: there are allocated parking spaces, comfortable showers and toilets, lifts and paths on the sand. There are few tourists on the beach of Sant Sebastiá, mostly locals rest here.

Ideal place near water for family holidays
The small and tranquil beach of Nova Icaria is located just behind the Olympic Port, which separates it from the beaches of Sant Sebastiá and Barseloneta, and thus continues the chain of the beaches of Barcelona. Nova Icaria beach in addition to standard equipment, has two good volleyball courts, a table for ping-pong and a place for children's games. Nova Icaria beach is ideal for families with children.

Beach, suitable for admirers of tranquility and nature
The beach of Bogatell is the next link after Nova Icaria in the coastal chain, starting with Sant Sebastiá. Bogatell is perhaps the only beach in Barcelona where vacationers can feel themselves in nature. This effect is created due to the park that separates the beach from residential quarters.
