Narbolia is situated 18 km. from Oristano, overlooking the sea, and is known for its production of citrus fruit, grapes and olives.
Nearby there is a beautiful pinewood, which stretches as far as the Is Arenas beach.

It is a genuine oasis of great natural interest with pine trees, eucalyptus and rich Mediterranean shrub, made up predominantly of myrtle and lentisk bushes. It is the perfect habitat for jays, weasels and foxes. On the far northern point of the beach visitors can admire the S'Archittu rock, which has been shaped by the sea and forms a natural archway.

The district of Narbolia abounds in Nuraghi, such as Zoddios, Araganzola, Cresia, Terra Craccus and Tunis.
The church of S.Caterina, dating from the early Christian period, and the parish church of S.Reparata, originally Romanesque with Gothic-Aragonese additions, are situated in the centre of the town.
