Mar Bella

Mar Bella is an urban beach break located on Barcelona's northeastern coastline, facing southeast toward the Mediterranean Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with multiple man-made structures including groins and breakwaters that define the bathing areas. The immediate nearshore shows shallow turquoise water typical of Mediterranean conditions, with light swell generation common to this region. This is a protected, developed beach suitable primarily for beginners and intermediates due to consistent but small wave conditions. The presence of multiple beach sections separated by structures creates variable wind and water conditions. Northeasterly winds (around 30°) provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coast, though the weather data indicates very low wind reliability (1.0%) and minimal average wind (4.9 knots), suggesting this spot works best during specific wind events rather than regularly. The urban setting and shallow green water zones require careful route planning and awareness of other water users. This spot suits learners in light wind conditions and those seeking sheltered, crowded beach environments over remote breaks.
