Smoke-free beach

Adapted parking

Parking for bicycles

Nova Icària is about 415 metres long. It is one of the beaches situated roughly halfway along the city seafront.

Along with Bogatell beach, this is the one of the beaches where users spend more time, possibly because it is one of quietest in the city.

It is also one of the beaches in Barcelona with the widest range of leisure amenities: these include a playground and a ping-pong table by the Bogatell breakwater and two volleyball courts near the Olympic Harbour.

On the beach of Nova Icària is flying the Ecoplayas flag as recognition of its quality and services.

Area for disabled persons

Nova Icaria Beach has an area for disabled persons that includes a bathing support service. This service is intended for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility, and its purpose is to help them in and out of the water so they can enjoy bathing in the sea, using, if necessary, an amphibious chair.
