8 Very good

This location is a breath of fresh air - literally and figuratively - compared to the hustle and bustle of Barcelona. Just a short bus ride away and a T10 ticket, you can find yourself in a much less crowded spot. During autumn and winter, dedicated zones for kite and wind surfing make this beach a must-visit for any adventure enthusiast. Not to mention, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from. The only downside is that the nearest train station is about 1 km away and there are no public toilets. However, during the summer months, you should watch out for jellyfish!

Platja de Castelldefels is far quieter than the ones near the city center. Unfortunately, it is often windy and the waves can be strong and hit the shore with force.

The perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun. It's the best beach in the Barcelona region, so don't be fooled by any other. If you're looking for a great beach experience, this is it or head to the Costa Brava.
