Tibu-Ron Beach Club is a shark-themed chiringuito on the Castelldefels beachfront, about 20 minutes south of Barcelona city centre. The name is a play on "tiburón" (Spanish for shark), and the playful decor leans into it. It's part of a small local group that also runs Taberna Tibu-Ron and Solraig nearby.
The setup is casual and family-oriented. Sunbeds and umbrellas line the sand, there's rooftop seating upstairs, and a proper kids' area with high chairs, a children's menu, and changing tables. You'll see tourists, local families, and groups of friends here in roughly equal measure.
Prices sit in the €30-50 range per person, making this one of the more affordable spots on the coast. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend brunch and lunch. The venue is open daily from midday and is fully wheelchair accessible, with paid parking nearby.
Rated 4.3 from 10,121 reviews. The vast majority of guests leave four or five stars, with only a small number of one-star ratings pulling the average down. For a venue handling this volume of visitors, that's a solid track record.

Food & Drinks at Tibu-Ron Beach Club
Paella is what people come for. It's by far the most talked-about dish, and the socarrat (the crispy rice base) gets its own praise. Fideuà and huevos rotos are strong second choices. Botifarra also makes an appearance for those wanting something more local.
On the drinks side, mojitos are the go-to order. The cocktail list is well-regarded, and the beer and wine selections hold up too. Coffee is worth a mention if you're here for brunch.
The kitchen covers breakfast through dinner, with table service throughout. There's also a private dining room if you're planning something bigger.
