Ir-Ramla il-Hamra

The largest beach on Gozo Island is Ir-Ramla il-Hamra, often known as Ramla Bay. The beach has a long, wide beach with fine reddish sand and few rocks along the shore breaks. Ir-Ramla il-Hamra is a genuinely unique beach with a nice bucolic environment. The large beach is nestled in a rich valley surrounded by rolling hills where agricultural thrives. The hike here from the towns of Nadur or Xaghra is framed by steep cliffs that frame the coastline leading to the beach and give spectacular scenery.

The waves are modest and safe for swimming and snorkeling because the beach is located in a sheltered harbor. Another advantage is that the seafloor is shallow, making the beach excellent for splashing around with children. Public bathrooms and change rooms are available in Ramla Bay. There are snack shops, ice cream stands, and stands that rent out lounge chairs and beach umbrellas during the summer. Unfortunately, there are no lifeguards on duty at this beach. The beach is centered on a statue of the Virgin Mary (Our Lady of Hope). This statue was erected in 1881.
