Full description

Platja de la Mar Bella is a city beach best known for its nudist section, which runs alongside the regular stretch of sand and draws a mixed, relaxed crowd rather than a typical tourist scene. Mornings tend to be peaceful, but reviewers note the beach fills up and access can feel congested by afternoon, especially in summer.

A 4.4 rating suggests it delivers well on the classic Barcelona beach experience for those aware of, and comfortable with, its clothing-optional reputation.

Reviews

Beautiful sandy nudist beach, relatively easily accessible by bus. During the mornings it's nice and peaceful - the afternoons howver get very busy and it's difficult to find a spot. Large gay crowd but also mixed. Generally a relaxed atmosphere though.
