Summer in the Mediterranean seems to be on a roll with various days in which we have to endure through heatwaves and temperatures over 30°C.
However this can be used as a motivation to discover new beaches and areas across the Maltese Islands where you can beat the heat and freshen up yourself with a pleasant swim!
Today we’ll be looking at 5 beaches in Gozo worth trying!
1
Ramla l-Ħamra Beach
Translates to the Red Sandy beach due to the colour of the sand over a stretch of area forming part of this area which is popular with the Gozitans, the Maltese and those visiting our Islands alike.
Closeby, one can also find a historical site called ‘Calypso Cave’.

Ħondoq ir-Rummien
Going down to the south eastern side of the Gozitan Island, we’ll find another favourite spot with beachgoers.
Looking towards the islands of Comino and Malta, this beach boasts a sandy area as well as a rocky one, with saltpans which are still functional and in-use up to this day.

Marsalforn
A small, but cute beach in one of the most touristic places of Gozo.
Marsalforn hosts a number of restaurants, gelaterias, bars and cafes which are all close to this sandy beach.
Therefore, you’re never too far away from a fresh lemon granita!
4
Inland Sea
A truly unique area in the Maltese Islands with a natural lagoon giving the impression of a small lake.
Sea water which seeps in from the caves provides this place a different swimming experience for those willing to have a go at visiting this area.
Located in Dwejra, this lagoon was also featured in one of our previous posts related to diving sites.

Mġarr ix-Xini
A quaint area in the southern side of Gozo and located within a valley.
It was also used as a movie set in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s ‘By the Sea’.
The area kind of resembles the Wied iż-Żurrieq area in Malta in that the sea makes its way between the cliffs until it reaches the bay.
