In winter, the beach is pristine and delightfully secluded. It's the perfect spot to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Platja de Sant Simo has a sandy shore that is kept in a state of disrepair. The sand is unclean and not taken care of, and the bars are not up to par. It's far from the beautiful beach it's purported to be.

My initial dip in the Mediterranean was nothing short of disappointing. The water was far too cold and the waves were too choppy to enjoy. The beach was crowded and unappealing, with little to no amenities. All in all, it was a forgettable experience.
