Beachgoers looking to avoid Barceloneta can use two Rodalies commuter rail routes that run along the Catalan coast, according to a guide published by Barcelona Secreta on 27 July 2026.

The guide presents the rail links as public-transport options for reaching beach destinations beyond Barcelona, including the Maresme coast, Costa Brava and Costa Daurada. For residents and visitors without a car, the practical consequence is access to coastal trips by train rather than relying on the city’s beaches.

## Coastal destinations beyond Barcelona

Barcelona Secreta’s guide focuses on the two Rodalies lines that follow stretches of the coast. Rodalies is Catalonia’s local and suburban rail network.

Travellers should check the applicable Rodalies timetable before leaving, as the guide is specifically aimed at rail schedules and service frequencies.

- **Maresme:** a coastal area north-east of Barcelona.
- **Costa Brava:** the Girona coastline running north from Blanes towards the French border, according to Slow Travel News.
- **Costa Daurada:** the coastal area south of Barcelona included in Barcelona Secreta’s beach-trip guide.
