Playa de Bogatell, Public beach in Sant Martí district, Barcelona, Spain
The 702-meter-long sandy beach stretches between Nova Icària and Mar Bella beaches, offering views of the Mediterranean Sea and Barcelona's coastline.
The beach received its name from an ancient stream flowing from Vilapicina to the sea, where Barcelona fishermen established their settlements.
The beach attracts a diverse mix of visitors, with thirty percent of beachgoers coming from international locations according to municipal statistics.
The beach features sports facilities including a football field, volleyball courts, ping-pong tables, along with showers, restrooms, and food kiosks.
Following the 1990s coastal renovation projects, this beach transformed from an industrial area into one of Barcelona's most visited seaside locations.

Spain has more than 8,000 kilometers of coastlines home to hundreds of beaches with diverse characteristics. The Mediterranean, Atlantic, Balearic Islands, and Canary Islands feature contrasting marine scenery: coves sheltered between cliffs, extensive sandy areas, urban beaches, and protected natural zones. Each coastal region has developed its own identity influenced by local geology and climate. The Balearic Islands include bays like Cala Macarella in Menorca or Ses Illetes in Formentera, where white sand contrasts with clear Mediterranean waters. The Canary Islands display volcanic landscapes, with the Maspalomas dunes on Gran Canaria stretching over 6 kilometers, or Lanzarote’s red cliffs framing Playa del Papagayo. Along the Andalusian coast, the Cabo de Gata Natural Park houses Mónsul Beach with its black volcanic formations, while Bolonia near Tarifa features a 4-kilometer-long beach with Roman remains. The northern coast presents a different scene: La Concha urban beach in San Sebastián forms a 1.5-kilometer arc, the limestone cliffs of Asturias protect Playa del Silencio, and the Cíes Islands in Galicia are part of a marine national park.
