In some ways the beaches are what sets Barcelona apart from other destinations in Europe. There are about 3 miles of beaches in Barcelona, ranging from Barceloneta right along to Diagonal Mar.
The beaches are open year round, except for 2 weeks in March when they are deep cleaned, but most of the facilities, including bars and lifeguards are closed up for the winter season.
The seasons cover:
Winter season (everything closed) : November to March
“Mid” season (limited facilities open) : May and Late September
High season (everything open) : June to Mid September and some weekends in April, May, September and October
All beaches are closed at night – usually from around midnight onwards for cleaning.
