Sant Sebastia is one of the city’s oldest traditional beaches, along with nearby Barceloneta Beach. The beach is Barcelona’s longest, spanning more than 1,100 meters throughout the Ciutat Vella district. It was popularly used by the city’s elite throughout the 19th century and was the city’s first gender-integrated beach, featuring the city’s earliest bathing amenity facilities. The beach is a popular nude beach spot and offers a number of sporting facilities, including the Club Natació Atlètic-Barceloneta, which is home to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, volleyball and table and beach tennis facilities, and a solarium. Since the addition of the new W Hotel, a number of upscale and casual restaurants have also popped up in the beach’s shoreline area, with many serving contemporary tapas.
