The neighborhood is roughly triangular, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, the ''Muelle de España'' of Port Vell and the El Born neighborhood. The neighborhood is serviced by its own stop on the Barcelona metro.
Barceloneta is known for its sandy beach and its many restaurants and nightclubs along the boardwalk.
