rocky beach

Xatt ta’ Claire

Rock ledges with ladders into deep water on the south coast below Għajnsielem.

  • Għajnsielem, Gozo
  • Ladder into deep water
  • Quiet

What it is like

Flat rock with ladders fixed into it, dropping straight into deep water. Popular with locals who want a swim rather than a beach day, and quiet almost all the time.

The wind

South-facing, so a nofsinhar or a xlokk makes the ladders awkward and the exit harder than the entry. Calm in a tramuntana.

Getting in

Ladders only. There is no shallow end and no sand.
