Barcelona's Summer is here! Check out our top 5 beaches in the city

Barcelona is a beach city beyond everything else. If you are planning to visit our beautiful city soon, you'll probably want the best information you can get, either for sunbathing, swimming or just strolling on the beach with your friends.

This city is greatly connected by public transport, so it's fairly easy to get to beaches that are not in the city but really close. You can either take the metro or de Rodalies railway!

All of these beaches are accessible by public transport and just minutes walking from the station until the warm sand.

Ocata Beach

Just after Montgat Nord and the Port Masnou marina, you'll find Ocata. This beach is very similar to Mongat, very very long so you'll never find it crowded. It's very wide so you'll always find a spot to rest and sunbathe.

There are a lot of beach bars along the beach so it's easy to find a good place to eat and have some nice cold drinks. From Barcelona you will take around 35 minutes by train.

El Garraf

Just half an hour by train from Barcelona and a little closer than Sitges, you'll find this beautiful bay. This is a small beach but still very beautiful, not crowded at all and you can enjoy a bar.

This place is ideal for swimming, with his gorgeous blue water and it doesn't have strong currents.

If you are coming to Barcelona soon, these apartments are perfect for your stay!

They are really close to public transport and even the beach! If you coming this August check it out cause we have special summer offers!

Platja del Bogatell

Bogatel is cleaner and a lot less crowded than Barceloneta. It has several beach bars and even beach volley nets set up, anyone can use them, just don't forget to bring your ball!

Castelldefels

One of the most popular beaches near the south part of Barcelona is Castelldefels is a lovely resort town with plenty of facilities.
