"Barceloneta’s pervasive beach culture is a paradise for tan addicts, rollerbladers, and volleyball enthusiasts. Bike down the boardwalk, have a volley at Nova Icaria, then go for a swim in the bath-like water. While we wouldn’t recommend staying there because it can get crowded and pricey, you won’t find a better neighborhood to party in at night. Partiers come from all around the world to throw down to some reggaeton, and they have an entire row of beachside clubs to choose from, starting with Shôko and ending with the W Hotel. While many offer free entry, expect to pay 12 euros for those vodka Red Bulls." - MATADOR_NETWORK
