Barceloneta beach
Ultimate guide (December 2024)
Barceloneta is the main beach of Barcelona - luxurious, with palms, bars and superb buildings. In fact, there are three artificial bays (from south to north):
Platja de Sant Sebastia,
Platja de Sant Miquel and
Platja del Somorrostro. Of course, it's overcrowded by tourists and annoying street vendors (mostly refugees from southern countries). However, this is a great relaxed place with positive vibe. By the way, Barceloneta is also a nice historical district. So you should not limit yourself to the beach only. Shore and seabed: sand, pebbles.
