Directions

Nova Icària sits just north of the Olympic Port and offers a pleasant middle ground between the chaos of Barceloneta and the further-flung local beaches. It's popular with families and has calm, relatively clean water. The proximity to the Port Olímpic means good restaurant options nearby for post-beach dining. It can get crowded on summer weekends, and the Port Olímpic nightlife area can make the surroundings feel commercial.
