    Nice beach in the heart of Barcelona. Parking is a trouble as there are lot of potholes. There is a nudist section for naturists who want to shed their clothes and enjoy the blue sea and sand freely.

    The best beach in Barcelona, for a better one you’d need to go out of the city. The water is quite clean. Watch out, though, there is a nudist part right next to it, but if you don’t mind a couple of people walking around in harmony with nature, the beach is ok. Four stars for the artificial sand that feels funny and leaves a grayish dust all over you and your things, but it’s the same everywhere in Barcelona. Also, it’s in the city, so, obviously, don’t expect a secret cave, it might be crowded. Best time to come - in the week before 4 pm.

    Important to consider that it's a nude beach. But it was cleaner than the other ones and not as crowded so it was nice (as long as you don't mind naked people)

    A lovely beach but busy even on the Thursday we visited. It's clean and the facilities were actually surprisingly clean too. This is a gay friendly beach and can be a bit cruisy as it gets later into the afternoon. Although nudist it's about 50/50 so there's no pressure to get your kit off. A nice beach!

    It's ok, very busy, now that the tourists are back. If you come early, it will be fine. Though there are nicer beaches around Barcelona.

    Awesome beach! However, although "no smoking" beach, as mentioned in the photo and everywhere, everybody smokes, even weed! 😡 It gets full to the max in the afternoon because of the bar/cafe "BeGay" (Awesome cafe, too, by the way!)!

    This beach in Barcelona was so inviting for a swim in summer. There is a part of this beach where nude swimming is allowed. As you come into the park, there is an area for skate boarding too.

    Be respectful to others and embrace the opportunity to sunbathe nude here. This is one of the few beaches in Barcelona that's not heavily filled with disrespectful people (read: people who litter, smokers, teen-agers with loudspeakers). It's clearly marked as a nudist beach and is slightly hidden behind a hill with some vegetation. Let's maintain this gem of a beach by being respectful, kind and chill. And I cannot be clear enough: take your swimsuit off. It's one of the few beaches along the coast that allows this so embrace it.

    It’s a really nice beach, where everyone is welcome. The beach has a nudist area, but you can also be there with your clothes on. Lots of beautiful men and gay friendly atmosphere.

    Platja de la Mar Bella is a clothing-optional beach located in Barcelona. It is a popular spot for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing. The beach is also home to a number of beach volleyball courts and a skate park. The beach is well-maintained and has clear blue waters. There are a number of restaurants and bars located near the beach, making it a great place to spend a day in the sun.

    Nice to have a designated naturist beach. It's quite a nice beach. Bit of a dull area and not far enough out of town to avoid the hawkers - but still pretty good. We took the metro there and walked back into town.

    What a lovely beach. I did see two naked men laying on top of each other but let’s put that aside. Nude beach in Barcelona, what did you expect? Water is clear and warm, I saw some fishies. There is a bar there called begay so just keep that in mind when going to this beach. Idk if that is your thing. I found it entertaining. You may not. So I am hereby warning you. But anyways solid beach I will be back

    A very nice beach, easy to reach from the city center. Nudist and gay friendly you can stay relaxed without nobody to disturb you. You can find a nice chiringuito and many vendors of drinks/food walking on the beach.

    Playing volleyball? Flying kite? Sun-bathing, safe family time with smaller children? It's all possible at this beach. You will have a wonderful time relaxing with family, don't forget to bring a sun umbrella, the UV is quite burning these years. Sun lotion (50+ factor), cap, water-shoes if your feet are sensitive or you want extra protection is always a good idea! You can enjoy a great day out here, have lunch in the many smaller sea-front restaurants and park your car as well nearby. In case you're arriving with public transport, a good 20 min walk will lead you to the closest bus or metro station after the beach day. Enjoy! ;)

    (Translated by Google) Mar Bella beach is Barcelona's nudist beach. It is located between Bogatell beach and Nova Mar Bella. Very popular with naturism lovers, excellent for practicing it as a hill separates curious eyes from those who do not dare. It has bathrooms and a beach bar with awnings, tables and chairs. There is also the Mar Bella nautical base, which belongs to the Barcelona city council. The beach entrance is just behind the skate park, next to the Esportiu Mar Bella Center. Easy to park both on a motorcycle and in a car. (Original) La playa de la Mar Bella es la playa nudista de Barcelona. Se encuentra entre la playa de Bogatell y la Nova Mar Bella. Muy frecuentada por los amantes del naturismo, excelente para practicarlo ya que una colina separa las miradas curiosas de los que no se atreven. Cuenta con baños y un chiringuito con toldos, mesas y sillas. También se encuentra la base náutica Mar Bella, que pertenece al ayuntamiento de Barcelona. La entrada de la playa queda justo detrás del skate park, a un costado del Centro Esportiu Mar Bella. Fácil de aparcar tanto en moto como en carro.

    There is a place dedicated to the naturist beach on the Mar Bella beach. There is a children's playground and a volleyball court next to the Bac de Roda breakwater. Other leisure facilities on Mar Bella Beach include a basketball hoop, skateboarding area and ping pong table located at the top of the Paseo Maritimo, next to the Mar Bella sports pavilion. In the western part of the beach there is a marine base where events related to the sea are held.

    This was a nice beach to go to. It seems taken care of as it was pretty busy when we went. However, there are a lot of guys that walk through the nude part trying to sell you stuff. After awhile when the same guys keep asking you to buy their stuff after you repeatedly tell them no it feels more like they are just being creepy to see naked people. There was about 2 guys that we had to tell no to more than 3 times each. Also, people do bring their kids to the nude portion so be aware of that. Eventually we left.

  • 5/5 Callie J. 4 years ago on Google
    The water is so clear! There are also lots of cool rocks and shells (I think they are brought in from other places though.) The sand is really course though, so it hurts your feet a little bit to be barefoot. We went at the end of May and the water was cold, but not too cold to do some swimming!

    (Translated by Google) Very quiet beach, it has no algae, or almost shells, and it seems that there are no jellyfish, preferably go by the mñn, it gets too crowded at rush hour, fine sand, clean beach if you want to eat in a nearby restaurant they are 10-15 min walking to the right, I recommend it. (Original) Playa muy tranquila ,no tiene algas, ni casi conchas, y parece que tampoco hay medusas , preferentemente ir por la mñn , se llena demasiado a hora punta, arena fina ,playa limpia si quieres comer en algún restaurante cerca estan a 10-15 min caminando hacia las derecha, lo recomiendo.

    Great place! They have bathrooms to shower and change clothes. The water was a little cold, but okay for hot days. It was crowded but still fun. Nudity is optional at some points. It is a nice place to visit while in Barcelona.

    If you go alone do not leave your stuff unwatched while swimming naked, it might get stolen. Watch out for broken glass in the sand. Other than that I wish you lots of fun, without anything that I experienced there in September 2023.

  • 4/5 Luke B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice beach! Seems very popular with school visits during the week, but outside of those is generally not as hectic as the main city beaches.

  • 5/5 Katerina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and clean beach with beach bars and further than the more touristic Barceloneta. There is also sports equipment.

  • 5/5 Erik E. 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jerónimo L. 7 months ago on Google
    Great ocean and beach! It's pleasure to have this naturist area in Barcelona. A great place to swim and to sunbathe.

  • 5/5 Nikola Z. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the cleanest beaches in Barcelona. The beach is partially nudist, so if you have a problem with that, possibly not the best choice for you.

  • 5/5 Paulo A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really liked the atmosphere of this beach, is a nudist beach, with everyone respecting each other space. It’s a sandy beach, but when you get in the water, has a little bit of rocks, so go with your swimming shoes.

  • 5/5 Edwin P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Luka S. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Robert C. 9 months ago on Google
    a bit out of the way, which is probably why it is this beach that was chosen as a nudist beach. Otherwise very similar to other Barcelona Beaches. Clean and a little less busy.

  • 5/5 Sheng C. 11 months ago on Google
    No one here really in begin of May but it’s crowded in summer

  • 3/5 Brendan C. 9 months ago on Google
    Generally an older crowd. Beach blankets close. Beach narrow. Water cleaner than at other nearby beaches, but it’s a hike; and I’ve sweated gallons walking there. But it’s worth it. No facilities, e.g., showers, or lifeguards in my section. There are beachside restaurants nearby.

    Visiting Barcelona in Cristmas season is not the best time to go for a paddle that is why I was surprise seeing of swimmers in sea that was around 12-13 Celsius at that time. But by residents it was an ordinary stuff so not a big deal. Okay, I could accept it easily. However I stayed at the beach and enjoyed walking in sand and sunshine in December.
