← Things to do Beach
🏖️ Barceloneta Beach
Barcelona's seaside vibe: sand, seafront paella and lively beach bars.
Why go
Just steps from the centre, Barceloneta is the city’s most iconic beach. Swimming, a stroll along the promenade, seafood restaurants and beach bars — the Mediterranean atmosphere at its best.
Our tips
- Watch out for street vendors and keep an eye on your belongings.
- For authentic paella, head a little away from the seafront.
- At sunset, go up to the W Hotel for a great view.
Getting there
Metro L4 Barceloneta stop, then a 10 min walk to the sea.
