Mġarr ix-Xini

One of the most scenic places to swim in Gozo, Imgarr ix-Xini is found in the limits of Xewkija. The bay is at the base of a beautiful valley. The bay starts with shallow water but there are rocky parts you can venture around in the valley which allow you to jump straight into the deep, blue water.

There are not many facilities in the area except for one unique restaurant. A narrow road leading to the area gives good access to the beach. In 2015, the site was the backdrop for a movie by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, ‘By the Sea’. The area is also ideal for winter walks.
