Platja d'Ocata is in a league of its own! Far superior to Barceloneta, yet still conveniently close to the city. It's a must-visit!

That place near Barcelona is simply stunning! The crystal clear water is so inviting and refreshing, you'll never want to leave. It's the perfect spot to spend a day in the sun and relax. It's also spotlessly clean, so you can be sure to have a great time.

This beach is the perfect spot if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Barcelona. With minimal crowds and plenty of cafes to grab a bite to eat and a drink, it's the ideal destination to relax and unwind. Parasols can be purchased for a reasonable price from the shops along the coastal road. The beach is located about 17km away, so it's best to have your own transport, but there is a train line that can take you there. Don't miss out on this stunning beach!

Ocata may not be the most convenient beach to get to from Barcelona, but it's certainly worth the extra effort. It's a huge beach with plenty of room for activities, plus there are beach bars aplenty, so you won't miss out on a sunset tipple.

A stunning, expansive sandy shoreline that never appears to be excessively packed. It's an ideal break from the city, even though it's only a 20-25 minute train ride from the downtown area of Barcelona. There are a few awesome beach bars along the beach with a great vibe, delicious food and the best kids' play area ever. We keep returning.
