Get to know the place

The small beach below the cliffs offers a distinct surface visit from Ċirkewwa’s scuba entries. Its rocky margins are the focus of this discovery idea. Use the beach approach and agree a short local route; the bay name does not mean the water is sheltered in every wind.

What to see

  • Sand-to-rock transition
  • Cliff-backed beach
  • Small rocky habitats

Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
