About this place Mar Bella Beach

Mar Bella is a city beach in Barcelona's Poblenou district, east of the Olympic Port. Part of it is a nudist area and it has long been popular with gay men, making it the most obviously queer stretch of sand within the city. The crowd is mixed, with locals, families and sports clubs using other parts of the beach. It is easy to reach by metro (L4 to Poblenou or Selva de Mar) and has a chiringuito and showers in summer. Weekends from late spring to September are busiest. Watch your bag, as petty theft is common on Barcelona beaches. Note that Mar Bella is in Barcelona; Sitges is a separate town 40 km south.

Very nice beach, but I'm not much of a nudist. Sometimes I prefer to go to another beach.

A very nice naturist beach, no drama there. Peaceful. With accessible restrooms, showers, and the sea is a blessing.

A very pleasant beach, very well maintained, supervised, and somewhat removed from the usual hustle and bustle. The absence of beach bars or restaurants allows for a more authentic coastline experience. The green waters, waves, and sea spray are a delight for all ages.

Beautiful sandy nudist beach, relatively easily accessible by bus. During the mornings it's nice and peaceful - the afternoons howver get very busy and it's difficult to find a spot. Large gay crowd but also mixed. Generally a relaxed atmosphere though.
