Beaches
This beach is inextricably linked to the fishing quarter of the same name, Barceloneta, Barcelona"s classic neighbourhood by the sea, where the people of Barcelona love to come and eat fish and seafood dishes and "tapas".
Situated between the Nova Icària and Mar Bella beaches Bogatell beach is the result of the urban planning scheme which, with the boost given by Olympic Barcelona in 1992, made a firm commitment to making the seafront accessible and incorporating the beaches into green spaces, gardens and the neighbouring districts.
With the Forum"s photovoltaic pergola as its backdrop, this seawater swimming pool is part of an enclosed bathing area which gives you the chance to experience the Barcelona sea in a different way. Please bear in mind that the bathing area is paved and has no sand. You enter the water via steps. There are fewer people, it"s more peaceful and it looks stunning in photos!.
As its name suggests ("llevant" means "east" in Catalan), this is Barcelona"s easternmost beach. It opened in 2006 making it the city"s newest beach. Until relatively recently, factories and other facilities almost reached the shoreline but today the beach is another of the seafront recreational spaces used by locals and visitors alike.
This beach is particularly popular with young people. It has an area for naturists and attracts a cosmopolitan crowd from all walks of life, including sports lovers and students from the nearby faculties.
