What to do in Platja El Garbi? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

For those who wish to engage in something more extreme than a lazy holiday on the beach, it is worth noting that Platja El Garbi is excellent for surfing. This kind of activity is suitable for beginners and for professionals. The waves in this region you can see in the photos above or study the reviews by our users.

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Platja El Garbi welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing.

This place may be small, but it's still worth a visit - if you don't mind a bit of a squeeze. It's a great spot if you're looking for a more intimate experience, but don't expect to find the same amenities as larger, more popular beaches.

This location is a great spot for families to enjoy, as the water is shallow for about 35mtrs out and then gradually gets deeper. I'm 6ft tall and the water was warm enough for me to swim in. It's an ideal place to relax on a hot day and I highly recommend checking it out!

Platja El Garbi is absolutely amazing! The sand is so soft and inviting, and the water is so clear and inviting. The perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of nature. It's a great place to spend a day swimming, sunbathing, or just enjoying the scenery. Highly recommended!

This spot is a great for those who don't know how to swim, as the water is incredibly shallow. You'll have to venture out quite far to reach any decent depth. The sea is quite warm during the summer, making it too hot for a pleasant swim. It's usually quite crowded during July and August; the rest of the year it's much more tranquil. exceptionally clean and well-maintained.

Far from picturesque, with unimpressive facilities nearby. The sea is shallow and the slope quite gradual, making it a relatively safe spot for younger kids, but not much else.
