Barceloneta \u2013 for revellers<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOne of the very best beaches is the one that bears the city\u2019s name. Although it\u2019s also very popular and noisy and a well-known place to go celebrity-spotting, it\u2019s also home to some of the city\u2019s best beach cafes. The beach huts serving food are known as \u2018chiringuitos\u2019<\/em>, with some serving cocktails and other alcoholic drinks alongside salads and sandwiches. <\/p>\n\n\n\nJust off the beach is Frank Gehry\u2019s incredible 52-metre long Golden Fish sculpture. This gold-plated steel artwork was commissioned for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. This is an event that also inspired the local authorities to give the city\u2019s beaches a facelift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bogatell \u2013 for sports enthusiasts<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis beach is often used by joggers and other people exercising. The sporting theme is maintained by the nearby table tennis tables and volleyball courts. A number of windsurfing and kitesurfing schools are based here too. To cater for the sporting crowd, plenty of toilets and showers are available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nova Icaria \u2013 for families and foodies<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is one of the city\u2019s quietest beaches, and perhaps the most family-friendly. The waters here are usually very calm, making it an excellent place for children to swim. There\u2019s also a playground to keep them entertained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s more, this beach has a volleyball court and a ping-pong table too. It’s fitting as this is one of the closest beaches to the Olympic Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t fancy the beach cafes here, Nova Icaria beach is flanked by the Passeig Mar\u00edtim de la Barceloneta promenade. It has some excellent restaurants, which include Agua and Arenal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mar Bella \u2013 for younger sports enthusiasts<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is a large beach \u2013 more than 500 metres long \u2013 to the north of the city centre. Again, the emphasis is on people enjoying sporting activities such as kayaking and paddleboarding, rather than the revelry you might expect at Barceloneta. This place does attract a younger crowd than other sporty beaches such as Bogatell though, and there\u2019s a playground for children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One end of Mar Bella is a \u2018clothing optional zone\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sant Sebastia \u2013 for the disabled<\/strong>, early risers and cheap & cheerful food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAt 1,100 metres long, this is one of the largest beaches in Barcelona. However, although it\u2019s so large, it\u2019s also very popular and in high summer you are advised to get here early to bag your spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s close to the city centre, so you won\u2019t have to go far to find something to eat or drink after your day at the beach either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another of its unique selling points is the presence of a number of amphibious chairs, with volunteers on hand to help disabled people have a dip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Llevant \u2013 for dog lovers<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOnly opening in 2006, this is Barcelona\u2019s newest beach. It\u2019s a quiet spot, with few amenities or eateries, but you can still play volleyball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part of the beach is a fenced-off \u2018dog zone\u2019, open until 9 pm every day. Our four-legged friends have access to their own drinking water supply here, and even have their own showers and urinals! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
