Get to know the place
BirdLife Malta’s Il-Kalanka feature describes algae-rich rock, fissures and small coves, with photographed blennies, a moray and a starfish. These are examples rather than promised sightings. Stay outside signed rockfall exclusion areas; this surface visit excludes overhangs, caves and swim-throughs.
What to see
- Algae-covered rock habitats
- Limestone fissures viewed from outside
- Small marine-life details
Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
