Sant Sebastià Beach

• Beach climbing frame of red ropes sits right on the sand near the W Hotel, a draw for kids who tire of swimming
• Calmest water at the sheltered western end behind the breakwater, the gentlest stretch for younger swimmers
• Lifeguards and Blue Flag in summer, with showers, public toilets, and deckchair and parasol hire on site

The westernmost of Barcelona's city beaches, at the quieter end of Barceloneta below the W Hotel. The sand runs about 660 metres with a sheltered, breakwater-calmed stretch good for younger swimmers, plus a beachside climbing frame and play area, lifeguard towers, showers, public toilets, and kiosks. Deckchairs and parasols are available to hire.
