Beaches

Everyone in Barcelona loves chilling out all year round in any of the seven beach areas: San Sebastia, Llevant, Nova Mar Bella, Mar Bella, Bogatell, Nova Icària, Barceloneta. It is the place to party, to explore marine fauna, to enjoy all sorts of water recreation, especially the very popular sailing competitions.

Perhaps because the ocean tells tales of centuries past. A ubiquitous reminder of her vivid history, the sea gives Barcelona that Mediterranean flavor so uniquely hers. Her built-up landscape of a coastline, easily accessible and integrated into the city, is a rugged natural beauty exquisitely juxtaposed against a very urban world.
