Can anyone recommend a good beach in Barcelona for mid-July traveling? We are college student travelers and are not looking for anything that is too exclusive. Thanks!

Honestly - I wouldn't bother.
Look, you're from Texas, so I assume you have an idea what a "good beach" is like - soft, fine, white sand, clean water, room to spread out, etc. You know, like many Americans have experienced in Florida, Mexico, Hawaii, etc. (and maybe even parts of Texas).
The beaches in Europe are generally not like that.
I think it's a mistake for Americans to think they're going to have a great "beach experience" while on a vacation to Europe. You want a nice beach? Catch a flight to Cancun. When you're in Europe, there are much better ways to spend you limited time.
Just my opinion. Good luck.

Check out Jackie Steves' blog. It's on the home page of this website. She has been blogging from Barcelona lately, with colorful details about the beach scene there. She and her friend are college age. Sounds like party time.
