I've heard that it's pretty weak. But it's the only beach town in the entire country. In summer months the hot girls prefer Punta del Este, Uruguay.

I have heard it explained like this (I had a good friend from Mar del Plata and have some friend that have been to both):
Punta del Este : more flash, more miami beach
Mar del Plata: more chill, more like a san diego beach town.

Oh by the way the water is freezing. You're in Buenos Aires in Jan or Feb and the whole city is an oven and just getting to Mar del Plata you notice its cooler. You get to where the edge of the beach is and the sand and air is hot, and you walk towards the water confident you'll enjoy it. The closer you get the more wind starts picking up and the cooler it starts getting. By the time the waves of water touch your feet you realize the water is almost like recently melted ice. Shits cold, real cold.

Sobremonte is one of my fav clubs in the world
its awesome
beach sucks because its overshadowed by high rises to the point where it blocks the sun and water is cold
on a plus note, grand casino has the worst poker players in the entire world

MDP is particularly popular with middle class Argentineans.
