Although Guardamar Segura has a number of lively bars, it is not noted for its wild nightlife. The evening entertainment, often provided by the larger hotels, reflects the family nature of the resort.
Guardamar Segura shopping provides essential provisions and has the usual numbers of gift and souvenir shops. It also has an outdoor market every Wednesday where you can practise bartering for bargains. Popular purchases include wickerwork, ceramics, jewellery and leather goods.
Guardamar Segura restaurants serve a variety of food and cater for most tastes. There are some excellent fish restaurants where fresh, traditionally prepared dishes delight the palate. A good way to try Spanish food is to order a plate of tapas which consists of a medley of bite-sized dishes. Tapas are also ideal for filling the sometimes long gap between lunch and dinner, which is served later in Spain than at home.
Children are always made very welcome in Spanish restaurants and their tastes and portion sizes are usually accommodated.
Local wines are pleasant and inexpensive.
