Beaches Within Driving Distance of Barcelona



Although there are beaches to choose from in Barcelona itself, some people like to take the opportunity to get away from the city and enjoy one of the many beaches which are within close proximity to the city centre.

Castelldelfels

By travelling only 20 miles south west of Barcelona you can find this wonderful town which has a really fantastic beach spreading an impressive 5km. The beach has lovely clean sand and can be considerably quieter than the beaches in Barcelona and other nearby resorts.

Monsolis Beach

This is not a highly commercial area and is therefore suitable for those who want to enjoy a more genuine Spanish beach experience. Whilst the golden beach has basic facilities such as toilets and litter bins, you may wish to pack a picnic and take some beach games for your visit.

Playa de Poniente - Premia de Mar

This is a great beach for those looking for some sizeable waves to surf as well as some high quality sand on which to play beach sports. There are plenty of places from which to rent gear to partake in these activities at this popular beach.

Pineda de Mar Beach

This beach is part of the famous Costa Brava but is only half an hour travel time from Barcelona. The beach is considered to be a good location for the older tourist who enjoys a place with plenty of character as well as a good quality beach.
