Over 700 metres long, Platja del Bogatell is one of Barcelona's most popular beaches and was one of the sites that underwent a massive revitalisation in the early 1990s to mark the 1992 Olympic Games.
The beach is covered in fine-grained golden sand.
Bogatell Beach is more spacious and slightly quieter than the famous Barceloneta. Bogatell is the ideal beach for a half-day or quiet day's rest close to the centre of the action, but in the quieter surroundings of the residential area of Poblenou.
The beach has showers, free toilets and several areas with restaurants.
Location and transport
Bogatell beach is more or less an extension of the famous Barceloneta beach. The two areas are separated only by a small marina called Port Olímpic.
You can get here on foot after a pleasant walk of about 2 km along the promenade along the sea from the centre.
However, you can also reach the beach by public transport.
- Buses - stops Nova Icária or Poblenou about 150 meters, lines H16, V23, V25, V27, 59
- Metro - Bogatell or Llacuna station approx. 750 metres, line L4
