Beach Guide of Poblenou (Barcelona): Sun, sea and Mediterranean gastronomy

Bogatell Beach

The widest and most equipped of the beaches of Poblenou, ideal for families and athletes. To make the most of everything this beach has to offer, we propose two plans that will perfectly combine sport and gastronomy:

• Espai de Mar

  At the southern end of Bogatell stands the Espai de Mar, an open area next to the breakwater where beach volleyball fans organize games throughout the day. The environment combines sea breeze with the sound of the waves; the perfect setting for an active plan before or after a swim or a sunbathing session. In addition, this Poblenou beach also has a ping pong table.

• La Guingueta de Bogatell

  Facing the sand, La Guingueta de Bogatell offers a casual and fresh atmosphere: tables in the shade of pine trees, healthy tapas, natural juices and “bio” sandwiches to recharge your batteries without leaving the beach.

  

Nova Mar Bella Beach

A quieter corner of the beach in Poblenou, popular with water sports enthusiasts and locals, as well as having access for people with limited mobility. We propose two essential experiences to make the most of your day at La Nova Mar Bella, with a bit of physical activity and quality beach gastronomy:

• Base Nàutica de Barcelona – Paddle Surf

  At La Nova Mar Bella, water sports lovers will find at the Base Nàutica a starting point to discover the sea on a board (standing or sitting, you choose). The calmer waters of this stretch allow you to glide easily and enjoy the Poblenou skyline from a different perspective.

• Mamma Beach

  Very close to the water, Mamma Beach has gained fame for its fresh drinks, burgers and tapas served in an informal and luminous atmosphere. Wooden tables on the sand, palm trees and friendly service make every visit a relaxed experience by the Mediterranean.

Llevant Beach

The perfect option if you are looking for a quieter beach in Poblenou and connected to cycling routes. These two options will allow you to alternate action and relaxation while taking full advantage of the possibilities of Llevant beach. It is also a “smoke-free” beach and has a limited area for dogs:

• Beach Bike Tour

  The Llevant strip connects seamlessly with the coastal bike path: a guided bike (or segway) tour runs along Diagonal Mar and the seafront, stopping at viewpoints open to the sea and offering routes adapted to all levels.

• El Corner del Taulat

  A few meters from the shore, El Corner del Taulat surprises with signature rice dishes and creative tapas in a contemporary and top-rated restaurant on Poblenou beach. Its proposal offers informal food in a relaxed environment, which makes it a must after a swim or a bike ride.

Nova Icària Beach

This beach in Poblenou, with the twin towers of the Olympic Port as a backdrop, occupies the space where the Somorrostro used to be, which the reform almost completely erased.

A quiet beach with sports and leisure facilities, near which is the Parc de la Nova Icària, one of the five large green spaces built in Barcelona for the 1992 Olympics. Nearby, a street commemorates Carmen Amaya, the brilliant flamenco dancer born in the neighborhood.
