Today being Sunday beaches where packed with sunbathers in bikinis & bathing suits, & even a few swimmers. Though end of April but lovely sun. Great for a long walk and plenty of bars, ice cream parlours as well as restaurants for all tastes & purses. Highly recommended for a walk by the beach promenade or the marina with plenty to see and do. Recommended

Locals will come to the beach with their dogs and let them poop/pee on the sand. I saw a dog owner only covering his dog's poop with sand instead of properly collecting it. I saw many others letting the dogs pee and kids were playing with the sand afterwards. Completely disgusting.

Neighborhood and beach invaded by pak pak, Hindus and I spend sellers on the beach. In short, the beaches of Barcelona are not what they used to be. At the same time it is not possible to indicate in certain districts: “tourists go home” and “foreign welcome”. I put 1 star for the fun side of the beach.

Decent beach. Chair rental stops at5. Not the cleanest but also not filthy. Best for sun bathing as the water is not super clear and is chilly but a quick dip too cool down is good. There are bathrooms and restaurants close by. There is an outdoor gym hers that is fun to watch people pump up!

The most beautiful area in my humble opinion. Next to the sea, with wonderful paths to walk, stores and hotels. Also, if you visit at night time, it has buzzing nightlife!

This is one of the four historical districts that form the old part of the capital of Catalonia. The quarter is located on alluvial lands, as if protecting the port from the east. Until the 18th century fishermen and sailors lived here. Then the territory came under the control of the military, who built it up with low buildings with similar facades.

Getting to the nearest beach from Barcelona cruise port
Written March 25, 2019
HI, Havn't actually done this, but I suspect that it's about a 20 minute walk from the "cruise" mooring area to the beach at Barceloneta.

Cuanto cuesta alquilar una sombrilla con tumbonas y/o sillas para cuatro personas? Hay vestuario?
Written July 9, 2016
Hay baños públicos en la playa. En cuanto a las sillas, es una costumbre bastante Argentina jaja. Acá es mas común la lonita en la arena.
No se si alquilan sombrillas, pero lo que si se es que los precios están bastante inflados en esa zona. Quizás, si vas a estar varios días, te conviene comprar una barata en algún chino y dejarla.
¡Espero que te haya sido de utilidad!

Written July 9, 2016
Hola, Buenos días, yo vivo en Barcelona, y siempre que he ido no he utilizado ni vestuarios ni tumbona, ya que las llevo yo. Sé que alquilan, pero no sé el precio. Los servicios que hay son salvamento y socorrismo, hay punto de información playa, sí que hay consigna, duchas adaptadas, lavabos públicos adaptados, y como dices hamacas y parasoles. Saludos

giusto per utilizzare internet.

Written June 24, 2016

se dovete stare per pochi giorni vi conviene utilizzare la promozione estero del vostro operatore italiano (ve la invia appena atterrati vis sms, qualora voi non l'abbiata attivata prima).
per internet... la gran parte dei locali ha il wifi gratuito
