About

A 420-meter stretch of sand between Sant Sebastià and Barceloneta beaches, named after the 1755 church of Sant Miquel del Port. The shallow, gently shelving entry suits younger swimmers, and lifeguards watch the water in summer. Showers, adapted toilets, and wooden walkways run down to the waterline, with ice-cream kiosks and paddle-surf rentals along the promenade.
