Barcelona's Best Beach Bars To Hang This Summer

Come the summertime Barcelona’s beaches become the best place in town to hang out. Here are some of the best beach bars, clubs and chiringuitos in the Catalan capital.
Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Café del Mar Club

This is without a doubt the hottest new addition to Barcelona’s beach bar scene. The iconic Ibizan institution Café del Mar opened its doors in May this year and is fast becoming the favourite hang-out of the city’s young, rich and fun-lovers. The club has a private swimming pool with luxury beds around it, perfect for topping up your tan. Of course Café del Mar wouldn’t what it is if it wasn’t for the music – there are live DJs performing daily throughout the Summer.

Chiringuito Begay

This is the perfect place to hang out if you’re looking for a fun, friendly atmosphere and an eclectic crowd of locals and travellers. The Chiringuito Begay is an LGBT-friendly bar located just by the nudist section of the Mar Bella beach and is known for its lively parties and special events organised throughout the warmer months. On the other hand, this is also a great breakfast spot offering fresh juices, smoothies and pastries with an amazing view.

The Coconut Club

A Caribbean-inspired bar and restaurant, The Coconut Club is a trendy beach-side hang-out with an exotic feel. Located alongside the night-clubs and lounges which line the Port Olimpic, this venue has an altogether more relaxed atmosphere than its neighbours and manages to draw in locals as well as tourists from the beach. On the menu you’ll find everything from grilled sandwiches and nachos to healthy salads – all with a Caribbean twist.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.
