Adjacent to the cruise port, the neighborhood of La Barceloneta borders the long, wide Sant Sebastià Beach, where locals go to sunbathe, surf, and socialize in the many seafood restaurants and tapas venues that overlook the sea. 

A long promenade lined with palm trees connects the beach area to marinas filled with yachts. You get a good view of the marinas and port area from the Port Cable Car, which ascends from here to hilltop Montjuïc
