11,965-acre Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta Spain coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Spanish hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Spanish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Spanish Mediterranean Coast. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 228 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta draws 11,966 acres inside 18.6 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 2% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 5.8 mi of water from one end to the other, 5.2 mi at the beam. For a second option, Montgat-Badalona lies 4 mi northeast.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Spring puts european seabass in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 30 ft, wintering in 10 to 55 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring gilthead seabream on Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta hold shallow, usually 3 to 35 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 45 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 100 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

In spring, common dentex run shallow here, mostly 20 to 130 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 30 to 180 ft before dropping to 53 to 228 ft for winter. Summer common dentex concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 42 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Come spring, look for red mullet tight to the bank in 5 to 55 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 70 ft, then a winter hold in 30 to 140 ft. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 42 ft of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Spring puts atlantic bonito in skinny water — 15 to 100 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 90 ft, and winter fish hold in 50 to 220 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 228 ft, rated prime for winter atlantic bonito. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

MITECO 2025 national bathing-water census and coastal-domain review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Spain waters are set by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Spain's live national, autonomous-community, EU and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Licences for shore, boat and underwater fishing, PescaREC registration or reporting, protected-species authorizations, minimum sizes, quotas, closures, gear limits and marine-reserve permits can differ between exterior and interior waters and can change during the season. Recreational fishing is allowed only in specified zones of some reserves and is commonly subject to a special authorization. A WFD boundary, source-audited contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-water record is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, port access or safe navigation permission.

Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta is about 228 ft (69 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Spain national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, bluefish, greater amberjack, common sole roster for Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 42 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Sant Adrià De Besòs-Barceloneta is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
