About Barcelona Beaches - Barceloneta from hotel W to Port Olímpic

Barceloneta is the main tourist Beach area in Barcelona. Barceloneta is a former fishing village that today has a lot of tourist rental flats and over priced apartments because of it's proximity to the beach. This makes it the Barceloneta Beaches some of the most crowded in Barcelona during the summer.

However, the the downsides of Barceloneta beaches are compensated by an abundance of entertainment and seafood options. The most popular places to eat fresh seafood and cocktails are the chiringuitos (Bars on the Beach in a hut). For entertainment you can try water sports such as windsurfing and kitesurfing in Sant Sebastian Beach.

Before the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics what is today the beach and littoral area of Barcelona was railway sidings and wasteland occupied by squatter settlements in former industrial ruins. The seafront of Barcelona was extensively redeveloped for the 1992 Olympics. The beach is artificially supplemented with dredged sand.

Visiting Barcelona Beaches - Barceloneta from hotel W to Port Olímpic

Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta is a broad boulevard that is popular with skaters and runs along the beach front from Barceloneta to Port Forum.

I have devided the beach areas of barcelona into two sections, those in the barceloneta fishing village and Poblenou Beaches north of Port Port Olímpic being more favoured by residents of Barcelona.

Note: Since 2021 it is not allowed to smoke on the beach or in the sea of any of Barcelona city beaches.

WARNING: All of the beaches in Barcelona suffer from pickpockets and bag thieves. So do not for one minute leave your belongings out of site nor fall asleep or you will wake up with no bag or wallet. Bag thieves operate with impunity on these beaches and will run off with your bag. If you want to go to a beach where this is not an issue I recommend Castelldefels Platja which is only 20 minutes on the train from the centre of Barcelona.
