Sharing its name with the beach, the Mar Bella Base Nàutica Municipal is a sports facility in Barcelona’s Sant Martí district. Along the city’s shoreline, the Mediterranean becomes a playground for discovery and learning, ideal for anyone wanting to soak up the energy of the sea without leaving the city. From dinghy sailing to a game of beach volleyball, the Centre invites visitors to enjoy the surroundings, take in the open views and make the most of its facilities – including a beachfront restaurant with a terrace.

This is good to know

Beyond the summer months, the centre remains buzzing with activity, offering paddleboarding and windsurfing courses year-round for all levels and backgrounds
In its early days, the Base Nàutica de la Mar Bella was a key training ground for the Olympic sailing teams ahead of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Today, it continues to be a meeting point where sport, landscape and city converge.
