Platja de Sant Sebastià
Platja de Sant Sebastià is a sandy beach in Barcelona, located in the Barceloneta neighborhood and Ciutat Vella. It is indicated as accessible and operated by the Ajuntament de Barcelona. It is among the oldest beaches closely associated with maritime activities in the city, with significant sports clubs nearby. The lengths cited vary depending on the context, from 660 to 1,100 meters; it is therefore better to think of it as a large urban beach at the western end of the central waterfront. Sant Miquel is 0.7 km away, while other nearby options extend towards Fòrum, Litoral, and Badalona.
About this spot
