Ramla Bay, some say, the best sandy beach in Gozo.
|
|
|
Known in Maltese as Ramla il-Hamra (Red Sands), this is the biggest sandy beach on Gozo - a curving bay of fiery-coloured sands flanked by twin rocky headlands and backed by dunes thick with tamarisk and bamboo.
Ramla's size and natural beauty - as well as its soft sand and clear, shallow water make it a perfect beach to relax. It's only a 20 minute drive from "My Gozo Villa" !!!
Swim and soak up the rays alongside a statue of the Virgin Mary, placed on the beach atop a chunky white plinth in 1881 in commemoration of a local shipwreck. The cliffs above the western corner of the beach shelter Calypso's Cave, one of many Maltese nooks identified as the spot where Odysseus spent seven years holed up with the temptress Calypso. If you make the climb, the view is fantastic!!!
