Discover Gozo’s Best Beaches: A Local’s Guide to Summer by the Sea
Gozo, Malta’s hidden gem, is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Whether you are after golden sands, crystal-clear waters or peaceful coves, Gozo has something for every beach lover. Here are our top 5 picks for a perfect summer swim:
Ramla Bay
Famous for its unique red-gold sand, Ramla Bay is a must-visit. The wide beach is perfect for families, sunbathers, and swimmers alike.
San Blas Bay
A small, secluded beach that’s less crowded than Ramla. The walk down is steep, but the peaceful vibe and natural beauty make it worth the effort.
Hondoq ir-Rummien
Near Qala, this beach offers calm, clear water and great snorkeling opportunities. There’s also a small kiosk for snacks and drinks.
Dwejra Bay
Not a sandy beach, but a spectacular spot for swimming and diving. The Blue Hole and Inland Sea are iconic and perfect for adventurous souls.
Mgarr ix-Xini
A peaceful inlet surrounded by cliffs. Great for snorkeling and a favourite among locals. Fun fact: it was a filming location for the movie By the Sea starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Tips:
Bring reef shoes for rocky beaches, come early for parking and do not forget your sunscreen!
