Nova Icària, the family beach

Between Bogatell and Mar Bella, Nova Icària is the family choice: a sheltered stretch, easy access and the Ciutadella park a stroll away, with the Olympic port on the other side for lunch.

Calm swimming

The orientation and the breakwaters make the water calmer than Barceloneta's — ideal with children or for actual lane swimming. Lifeguards and flag systems work like a manual.

Services without stress

Showers, calm chiringuitos and umbrella rental without the queues of the western end. The comfort-to-space balance is the best of the four beaches.

A full day plan

Morning beach, lunch at the Olympic port, afternoon in the Ciutadella park or El Born. This stretch best combines a whole day without taking transport.
