Somorrostro Beach, Urban beach in La Barceloneta, Spain.

Somorrostro Beach stretches 522 meters along Barcelona's coastline between the gasometer and Olympic Marina, offering 114 meters of golden sand width.

The beach location was formerly a coastal settlement that housed 15,000 residents in basic conditions until the mid-twentieth century.

The renowned flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya began her path to international recognition at this location, where she was born in the former settlement.

The beach includes adapted showers, public toilets, children's play areas, beach libraries, sun loungers, changing rooms, and multiple food service points.

The Centre de la Platja underneath the beach arcade provides educational activities about Barcelona's coast and hosts exhibitions about marine environments.
