Barceloneta Beach
I swim here in September when the tourists are gone and the water is still warm. In July I'd rather not. Go early and understand what this beach represents to the city.
The closest city beach. Not the prettiest beach in Catalunya but the most consequential — the 1992 Olympics remade this entire waterfront.
