2. Beaches

Mar Bella
Metro Ciutadella Vila Olympia
Tucked behind a prairie of bamboo is the beach of Mar Bella. This beach is home to windsurfing, hobie carts and kayaking along with a cafŽ and a park to picnic or siesta. This beach has breath-taking views of the Mediterranean Sea.  At this beach you feel miles away from the hustle of such a busy city.

Nova Icaria
This beach is located very close to the Olympic port and is always crowded! This is the best place to go if you want to eat lunch at the beach because there are two beach side diners and many beach vendors. Also, being so close to the Port puts this beach walking distance from all the restaurants at the Port.

Bogatell
Located just further down the promenade from Nova Icaria is Bogatell. This beach is twice the length of Nova Icaria and is tucked under the promenade, which gives a quiet feeling of a great distance from the city. Less beach eateries than Nova Icaria but still home to a few informal stands to grab a quick snack!
