Mar Bella beach, Beachfront recreation area in Sant Martí district, Barcelona, Spain
Mar Bella is a beach in the Sant Martí district with fine sand and shallow water along the Mediterranean coast. Sports facilities, a skate park, and a water sports center sit directly on the shore, making it a place for multiple activities.
The beach was created through a major urban redevelopment project prepared for the 1992 Olympic Games. This project transformed an industrialized harbor area into a modern public recreation zone.
The beach has a designated area for naturist bathing behind protective rocks that reflects the city's open and accepting approach. You will find this section clearly marked and separated from the main shoreline.
The beach is accessible via metro line L4 at Poblenou station and offers accessible facilities including wooden walkways and specialized bathrooms. Showers and changing rooms are also available, making entry straightforward for all visitors.
The beach hosts an integrated sports center with volleyball courts and a water sports center offering classes for beginners and advanced learners. These facilities take advantage of the natural setting and make it easy to try different sports right on the water.
