About Platja Naturista Del Prat
The naturist beach of El Prat de Llobregat, listed by the Spanish Naturist Federation as Playa de la Ricarda, lies on the undeveloped coast between Barcelona airport and the Llobregat delta wetlands, a short trip from the city. FEN describes a stretch of about 400 metres of darker sand, roughly 30 metres wide, with calm, clean water and low occupancy, making it a popular escape for people who want to avoid Barcelona's crowded city beaches. The delta behind it is a protected natural area with lagoons such as the Ricarda pond, and planes from the airport pass nearby. El Prat council's own beach information places its designated naturist area at the Remolar section, about 418 metres long, while the neighbouring Ricarda–Ca l'Arana stretch is protected with restricted public use, so follow on-site signage. Facilities on the nude section include a shower and bins, and a lifeguard is on duty in summer until about 19:30 with flags showing sea conditions. Access from the car park is easy.
Getting there
Drive to El Prat de Llobregat and follow signs for the beach (FEN says to head in the direction of the funeral home, the tanatori); there is a car park close to the sand. By public transport, the PR3 bus runs about every half hour from El Prat's Renfe station to the beach. The walk from the parking to the naturist section is short and flat.
Amenities
Legal context
El Prat de Llobregat council designates a naturist area on its beach (the Remolar section), and FEN lists the Ricarda naturist beach (2026). Parts of the delta coast are protected with restricted access, so stay within the signed public areas.
Naturism at Platja Naturista Del Prat sits under Spain's rules for de facto tolerance — usually left alone if you keep it non-sexual and low-drama.
