Nova Icària is one of the calmest and most family-friendly beaches in Barcelona. Developed during the 1992 Olympic works, it offers a space for sport without fuss and the sea without crowds. Volleyball matches, paddleboarding and refreshing swims share the shore with gentle walks along the Mediterranean. Located between Port Olímpic and the Poblenou neighbourhood, it combines sport, relaxation and the Mediterranean cuisine of its beach bars.
This is good to know
In winter, Nova Icària takes on a quieter rhythm: runners, readers and low sunsets turn the sand into an improvised lounge by the sea.
Alongside its tranquil atmosphere, it offers beach volleyball courts, table tennis tables and children’s areas, with beach bars and lifeguard service ensuring a relaxed experience.
The Blue Flag certifies the quality of its water and services, which include showers, public toilets and convenient bicycle parking.
