User reviews
"An ideal spot for soaking up the sun and hitting the waves. The sand is finely groomed and refreshed every morning. Plus, there's a hotel and cafe nearby for refreshments, plus some beach bars that come alive in peak season. Lifeguards are also on duty for added safety. Definitely a great spot to visit!"
Nina Tia Sch
"Playa de Galua is a great spot for a day out; the water is crystal clear and the waves are strong. It can get quite busy, however, and it can be noisy, so it's worth noting. There are lifeguards on duty, which is reassuring, and there are also a few bars and toilets around if you need them."
