Somorrostro Beach, Sand beach in Barceloneta, Spain
The beach extends 522 meters between the Gas breakwater and Marina pier, offering a wide sandy area with direct access to Mediterranean waters.
Until 1966, this location contained a settlement of 15,000 residents living in 2,000 basic dwellings before authorities initiated the area's transformation.
The Barcelona City Council renamed this section of Barceloneta beach to Somorrostro in 2010 to preserve the memory of its former community.
The beach provides lifeguard services, adapted showers, public toilets, information points, sun loungers, changing rooms, and multiple refreshment stands.
The Centre de la Platja underneath the arcade near Hospital del Mar organizes educational activities about coastal environmental protection from March to September.
