Piscina Sant Sebastià

• Kids' recreational pool separate from the 25-meter lap pool, for splashing and cooling off
• Right on the sand, so you can swim laps then walk onto Barceloneta beach
• Day pass, subject to space: no membership needed, but passes sell only up to the pool's capacity and can't be booked ahead, so come early and pick a weekday in summer

Two outdoor pools sit on the Sant Sebastià seafront at the end of Barceloneta beach: a 25-meter lap pool and a shallower recreational pool for kids and cooling off. A wide sun deck with loungers runs alongside, the cable-car tower rises overhead, and the sand and sea are a few steps away. There are also indoor pools, a learning pool, and a poolside restaurant.
