Indeed, Gozo has some of the best beaches anywhere in Malta and they tend to be more peaceful and natural too. The sun shines some 300 days per year and sunbathing weather is more or less guaranteed between June and September and regularly stretches from May to November.
The water is a crystal clear azure and warm for most of the year – perfect for swimming, snorkelling, diving or just splashing about.
The beaches here are ideal place for families and children to swim in the azure blue Mediterranean Sea, which reaches 16 degrees centigrade in spring and 27 degrees centigrade in summer.
Being such a small island, if there is wind on one side of Gozo, you need only hop a few kilometres along the coast to find another bay that is calm and tranquil – so there is almost always a beach to serve your purpose.
