    Can I rate this beach!? I guess I'll just add another 5 stars! And some shots. What an amazing place for a walk, swim, sun bath, or to go to the nearby places

    This is my experience from 2014. Love the beach so near to the city center. What else, do you expect when you visit a far away place and find such a beautiful place to relax.. I visited with my friends gang and we had a lovely time together, clicking photos and enjoying the gigantic waves.. It was an absolute pleasure to find a lovely spot like this in Barcelona. I definitely recommend this for families or a bunch of friends.. Especially, During the sunset, the views are mesmerizing. Wish you all a good time there :)

    Schöner und auch gut besuchter Strand mitten in der Stadt. Wird von Einheimischen und Touristen gleichermaßen genutzt. Leider viele, teils unverschämte und aufdringliche Straßenverkäufer die nicht nur "legales" anbieten. Achtung: Teilweise werden Abwasser ins Meer geleitet (stinkt)

    I am not really in beach holiday, but this place take my heart. There a lot locals on weekend. If you want some activity you can download app meetup. for 5-10 euro you will have sport activity in sea or on beach with professional trainer! Drinking alcohol and smoking are prohibited on the beach.

    It's a great beach for one so close to the central city, but maybe not a place for a relaxing beach holiday. Close by there are plenty of restaurants and other vendors catering to this popular beach. On the weekends and in the mornings you'll see a lot of people exercising at the beach and along the walkways. The adjacent iconic W hotel and a large paved area that's an observation deck on the other side of the hotel is also popular for strolling and joggers... and the areas along the shore are a great place to catch the sunrise as it comes up over the ocean.

    Barcelona has not great beaches, but if you don't have time to drive till Costa Brava this is an ok solution for the need of sun and sea. Quite wide space, showers, a zone to park your bike and some restaurants around. The quality of the water is not great, the sand is acceptable. Be extremely aware of the pick pockets and don't let your belongings unattended.

    Not the best beach to swim or bath but still nice walk and nice view of the seaside of Barcelona in summer they do alfresco cinema on this beach and the summer classical concert from OBC the Barcelona Classical Orchestra (around 20th June)

    Surprisingly clean water today on this beach. The city brought many extra tons of sands. And it looks like kayaking became the most fashionable and popular sport for this season here.

    Der Strand ist sehr schön aber leider sehr voll. Der FKK Bereich ist nicht klar gekennzeichnet und auf Grund der vielen Menschen ist es schwierig seine Sachen alleine am Strand liegen zu lassen um baden zu gehen, da viele Diebe unterwegs sind. Man kann aber einfach Leute fragen ob sie ein Auge darauf haben können und dann auch viel Spaß im Wasser haben.

    Wer sensibel auf nackte Brüste und entblösste Männliche Geschlechtsteile reagiert , der sollte den Strand meiden. Wen das alles nicht stört wird hier einen schönen Tag am Strand verbringen. Für mich ein super Strand um vom ganzen rumlaufen in der Stadt etwas zu entspannen.

    As far as city beaches go, this beach is nice and a big asset of Barcelona. However, some sections of this beach had garbage, massive sea gulls looking for food, stones/rocks at the water’s edge and sand that wasn’t that nice. I would recommend walking further north on the beach where there is a peninsula—this section turns into a more beautiful beach.

    Very nice beach. We have great time. We took our tops of our bikinis. :) we loved this freedom here. There were umbrellas and some sunbeds each for 20 euros. A little bit expensive but we rented 2 sunbeds and one umbrella. Smoking is forbidden at the beach.

    The naked beach next to showers, lots of people naked (FYI). No facility, only a shower hopefully. Most importantly Sea is too dirty on this day. Local said to watch your bag.

    Nice beach with a good atmosphere, you should be careful with the sun burns because the sun hits really hard during these days and specially this beach. There are some things wrong with San Sebastian Beach: The beach is really crowded with tourists, the place is a bit unsecure (just as most places of Barcelona nowadays), the surroundings are ridiculously expensive. On my advise, I recommend to leave the beach just as you finished swimming or you had enough of chilling on there and travel by public transport to a small neighbourhood in the high part of Barcelona and eat in whatever bar you find, it’s going to be the most authentic and spanish food you will find.

    Best Beach in all of Barcelona. Nice mix of Tourists and Locals. Naturists and Non-Naturists. It is Spain. Love it.

  • 5/5 Artem P. 1 year ago on Google
    The beach of Sant Sebastia is the oldest and most traditional, with sports clubs of great importance in the city due to its activities related to the sea. It is also one of the largest, with a length of approximately 660 meters. it is one of the city's beaches with a large number of foreign visitors.

    Place seem to still be under construction. This is not your typical whitesand beach. I like how engaging it is with lots of people at the beach during the day and the restaurants during the night!

  • 3/5 Olivia S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very crowded, water is not as clean as in the other beaches, when you enter in the water in 5 meters the water is up to your neck.

  • 5/5 Paula Dalmau �. 3 years ago on Google
    It's still a bit cold to get in the water, but the beach is clean and there's a really cool view to the W hotel. People are passing by, running, walking, biking, wtc. Nice place to relax for a while and spend a sunny day.

    Beautiful coastline but has a distinct odor of sewage, so I definitely didn't go in the water. Lots of strange naked dudes too

  • 1/5 Richard J. 9 months ago on Google
    What a shame for the city! Some got the possibility to rent sunbeds. Yes, you are in the city center, but this beach has nothing exceptional and two Very basic/bad sunbeds «proposed » from 60 to 100€. Above price you will find on French Riviera or trendy Greek Island. On top of that, we came because of mobility issue, you guess the end.

    Be prepared for fully naked elderly sun bathers. Swim naked in the Mediterranean. Quieter than Barcelonata beach. Watch for thieves. Think Miami Beach, but closer to downtown.

  • 2/5 Julio V. 4 years ago on Google
    Stoney beach, but very well kept. Some people do full on nudity, which was a major turn off particularly with kids. If people would be more decent I would have given 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Alex B. 4 years ago on Google
    The beach in Barcelona is so beautiful. You can play Volleyball or dive or do what ever you want. Eating pizza with sangria and watching the sunset is also incredible beautiful. Even in Mai you can go swimming there, if you like cool water and the relaxing feeling after. There are a lot of parties in the clubs next to the beach during the night. Barcelona is a lovely place to be. I am always happy to go back there. 5 big fat stars! *****

  • 3/5 Teresa V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is good to go with the children, although before it was more familiar, but little by little more nudists and embarrassing young people are being seen making scandals with very high music and heavy alcohol. And there is not much police control and it lacks public toilets. There should be more showers, especially due to the current situation. (Original) Esta bueno para ir con los niños aunque antes era mas familiar pero poco a poco se estan viendo mas personas nudistas y jovenes bochornosos haciendo escandalo con musica muy alta y alcohol pesado. Y no hay mucho control policial y le faltan baños públicos. Deberian de haber mas duchas sobre todo por la situación actual.

    (Translated by Google) If you want a beach with little influx, you have to go to it. The water seems cleaner and during the week there are not many people. In the weekend ..
