The experience
The city's most famous and central beach, a broad sweep of sand fronting the old fishing quarter of La Barceloneta. Fully serviced with lifeguards, showers, rental loungers, beach bars and a waterfront promenade, it draws swimmers, sunbathers and volleyball players. Backed by the W hotel and seafood restaurants, it is lively year-round and packed through the summer months.
Barcelona's classic city beach, steps from the old town.

It's only worth the detour Best May-Oct. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
