Barcelona’s most central beach is easily reached by metro (Barceloneta station) and has ample space for families. Public showers and restrooms are available along the promenade. Go early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds and the hottest part of the day. Chiringuito beach bars along the strip serve affordable drinks and snacks; bring your own toys and sunscreen.
