Negative experience: Stone shore with a lot of seaweed and dirty water. The good thing is that it's not crowded and there's free parking nearby.
Positive experience: Very nice place. Large and quiet. Easy to park.
Positive experience: Wonderful and quiet beach to go with family. It's accessible. Very good cleanliness. There is a lifeguard stand, a beach bar (decent quality of food, but expensive prices... a 120g hamburger for €16, strawberry mojito for €10... and several parking spaces around (blue zone, green zone and a bit further away, some free spots). Room for improvement: there is only 1 public toilet (it's a cabin). There are no showers, only foot cleaning stations.
Fantastic experience: Calm beach, and accessible, very clean!!
Positive experience: Plage toute simple avec très peu de monde en juillet. Protégée par des digues en pierres. Possibilité de restauration sur place. Belle couleur de mer vert bleue. Un peu sale au bord de l’eau malheureusement. Nous y sommes allés 3 fois car il est très facile de se garer juste en face en rues adjacentes.

Positive experience: The beach is not very large and it tends to be quite crowded in the summer. The beach starts in the area with finer sand, at the back of the photo I show you, but I prefer to use this photo because you will see the fantastic landscape around it. The wind usually blows quite a bit. It is far from the center of Sitges and is indeed a quieter area than the central one. It has a public restroom which is appreciated. Ideal for disconnecting for a while in summer.
Negative experience: Stone shore with a lot of seaweed and dirty water. The good thing is that it's not crowded and there's free parking nearby.
Negative experience: Many stones and seaweed
Positive experience: This area has many stones, little sand even in the water.
Fantastic experience: This beach is ideal for elderly people, it is very quiet and has a sandy platform with hardly any stones.

Positive experience: Good beach with some amenities. Lifeguard on duty but to be honest they seem to be more to police inflatables etc in the swimming area. they would have a long swim to get someone in difficulty at the edges of the swimming area. They don't have a board or kayak etc.
Positive experience: Playa muy cuca en la que hay buen ambiente sí el mar esta planos puede nadar y bucear viendo gran variedad de peces tiene duchas ,servicio de socorristas y un pequeño chiringuito a 500 metros
Fantastic experience: Muy buena playa para ir en familia, limpia, con baños, salvavidas y chiringuito para comer lo que te provoque....
Positive experience: Très bien pour les enfants et les vieux du côté des maîtres nageurs sauveteurs car il y a du sable au fond de l'eau alors que le reste c'est du cailloux.

Positive experience: I found it a bit small compared to the one in Vilanova i la Geltrú, honestly it doesn't give the same vibes of a beach at night or during the day. Besides, there are a lot of tourists who bother you and get drunk on the beach, and nobody says anything to them.
