While some of Barcelona's beaches, like Barceloneta Beach for example, are quite busy and crowded all year long, Nova Icaria Beach is totally different. This is a very peaceful beach with a tranquil atmosphere where visitors can simply sit down and listen to the sound of the waves, feeling the warmth of the sun beating down on their skin. It's a super sunbathing spot and a prime place to visit if you've been spending time in the heart of the city and just need to get away from it all for a few hours. Another advantage of Nova Icaria Beach is that even though it's very peaceful, it's still conveniently accessible and closely situated to some good quality hotels, bars, and eateries. The beach is also home to a interesting little sporting area with ping pong tables and volleyball courts for groups of friends to have fun together.
