Direct Route and Beach Connection
From the town center, Simius Beach can be reached directly via Via del Mare. Anyone planning to explore the coast of Villasimius from the built-up center therefore has a specific road for the route to the beach. In addition, Simius Beach is the continuation of Porto Giunco Beach. The two details help with two different planning questions: Access via Via del Mare is part of the route from the town center, while the continuation toward Porto Giunco relates to the course of the coast. Simius can therefore be considered both the town beach immediately southeast of the built-up town center and in connection with the adjoining beach of Porto Giunco. For a day on the coast, it is possible to consider the direct access and the beach connection separately. For orientation between the town and the coast, the built-up center, Via del Mare and Porto Giunco form three specific spatial reference points for coastal planning.
