Bogatell Beach

This beach is not only a hit attraction for those living in Poble Nou, but for the whole of Barcelona. Its clear waters and sandy beach make it the first choice for visitors and locals alike, yet it offers a less ‘touristic’ vibe than the lively Barceloneta beach nearby.

Rambla de Poble Nou
