Mar Bella Beach
LGBTQ+ venue
A venue intended for the wider LGBTQ+ community.
The place in a few words
Located in the Poblenou area, Mar Bella is one of Barcelona's most LGBTQ+ beaches. It's particularly known for its clothing-optional section, popular with the gay community. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with sports facilities and beach bars, including Guingueta BeGay.
What we loved
It's simply our favourite beach in Barcelona! We love the mix of people we meet and the freedom to enjoy the sun and sea without a swimsuit. We always feel comfortable here, whether we stay for a few hours or spend the whole day. It's somewhere we love returning to on every visit.
Our tip
If you want to enjoy the clothing-optional area, check where you put your towel, as not all of the beach is naturist. We also recommend stopping by nearby Guingueta BeGay for a cocktail or a bite to eat overlooking the sea.
