Playa de Bogatell

Playa de Bogatell is a public beach in the Sant Martí district with a flat, wide stretch of sand. The beach sits between two neighboring beaches and offers views toward the sea and across the cityscape.

The name comes from a historic stream that flowed from inland toward the sea and once brought fishermen to the area. In the 20th century, the coast was reshaped and an old industrial zone became a modern beach destination.

The beach draws people who want to be close to the city while enjoying water and sand. The name comes from an old stream that once flowed here into the sea and shaped the area.

The beach has showers and restrooms spread across the area, along with food kiosks for refreshments. Sports courts for football and volleyball are available if you want to stay active.

The beach was an industrial area with warehouses and factories by the water until the 1990s. The shift into a popular swimming zone shows how Barcelona reshaped its waterfront for visitors and residents alike.
