Latest reviews on el Masnou's beaches

Playa Del Varador
6 Gianni Gatti

This spot in Mataró is simply stunning! The sea and the beach are breathtaking, and there are plenty of great bars and seafood restaurants along the coastline. Plus, the best part is that entry to the beach is free and open to the public! 😎🌞

Platja de Sant Simo
6 Michael Roper

Platja de Sant Simo has a sandy shore that is kept in a state of disrepair. The sand is unclean and not taken care of, and the bars are not up to par. It's far from the beautiful beach it's purported to be.

Bogatell Beach
8 Chris Finnegan

A great spot to chill and relax. You can rent chairs if you arrive early. Lifeguards are on duty, so you can swim with peace of mind. The sand is coarse and the water is deep, about 20 yards out. It's the perfect place to beat the heat.

Badalona Beach
8 Maria Lopez

This spot is an ideal spot for relaxation and exercise. It's a tranquil place, perfect for getting away from it all and spending some time at the beach.

Platja de la Mar Bella
6 Kirill Postavniev

Mar Bella beach is a paradise for those who love the outdoors. It has a dedicated naturist beach, as well as a basketball hoop, skateboarding area and ping pong table near the Paseo Maritimo. There's also a children's playground and a volleyball court close to the Bac de Roda breakwater. To top it all off, there's a marine base at the western end of the beach, where a range of sea-related events are held. So, if you're looking for a beach with something for everyone, Mar Bella is the perfect spot!
