bay beach

Iż-Żewwieqa

A small rocky inlet just west of Mġarr harbour, used mostly by people who keep boats there.

What it is like

A working inlet rather than a beach. Rock ledges, a few moorings and clear water, within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Handy if you have an hour before a crossing.

The wind

It opens southeast towards Malta, so a xlokk puts chop in along with the wash from the ferry traffic. In a tramuntana it is calm.
