About this venue
Platja de la Mar Bella is one of Barcelona's public beaches, with a designated naturist section and a long LGBTQIA+-friendly beach culture. It is a place for swimming, sun and the city shoreline—not a private cruising venue. Respect local law, beach rules, other visitors and the protected coastal environment; choose dedicated venues for organised nightlife or adult socialising.
