Nothing beats Barcelona! This is where you go when you need to charge up your batteries and get exited and inspired. The city of art, culture and beaches has more to offer than it's possible to do in a week or two. However, Barcelona is addictive for most people, so you will most likely come back!

Barcelona Beaches

All the beaches in Barcelona are well maintained and provide lifeguards and access for people with disabilities. Barcelone has a 4 - 5km long stretch of beaches  in approximately 20 minutes walking distance from Las Ramblas. How perfect is that?

The 4 most popular and well-known beaches:

Barceloneta: Closest to the city and packed with American style  restaurants and bars.

Mar Bella: Windsurfing, kayaks and all sorts of water sports.

Nova Icaria: Near the Olympic Marina and full of delicious beachside bars and restaurants.

Bogatell: A more laid-back beach area with cyclists and joggers.

You can visit museums, sightsee the city or shop in the morning, then enjoy some tapas and some cool drinks.... and off to the beach in the afternoon, when it gets to hot to be anywhere else than right by the sea. Watch out for the sun though - it's much stronger than you think!
