What to do in Glaroi Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Glaroi Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Glaroi Beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

The beach is an exquisite location that boasts crystal-clear waters and fine sand, with a scattering of small pebbles. The beach is well-equipped with cozy umbrellas and seating arrangements, and the atmosphere is enhanced by the soothing music that plays in the background. The beach is not overcrowded, and there is ample space to unwind and relax. The café is a great spot to grab a refreshing drink, whether it's a cold coffee or a chilled beer. The parking is free and hassle-free, making it easy to access this beautiful beach.

The continuous blaring of music throughout the day can be quite overwhelming. The temperature of the ocean water may not be to my liking as it tends to be on the colder side. Nevertheless, this destination is still worth a visit as it possesses a certain charm that is hard to resist.

A splendid location to relax and unwind, the beachside bar is warm and inviting with an impressive array of refreshments and delectable bites to keep you energized. The background music is unobtrusive and creates a pleasant ambiance, while the personnel are extremely courteous and accommodating. The beach itself is immaculate, and the vista is breathtaking. However, the water temperature is slightly cooler than anticipated, owing to the influence of mountain springs that feed into the sea.
