It has no barbecue but has toilets, a surf safety centre, a kiosk, and a picnic area.

Stage 1 was completed in June 2005 and included the construction of a 175-space carpark, and the restoration of the creek line and the beach foredune.

Stage 2 involved designing, developing and constructing the Garie Beach Surf Safety Centre, landscaped forecourt, and picnic areas.

Because there is no electricity, no sewerage system, and no mains water in the Garie Valley, the centre will be solar powered, and will include a low-flush hybrid treatment system to provide flushing toilets using on-site biological treatment.

The Garie Surf Life Saving Club will provide an essential community service in helping to keep the public safe at the beach.
