I love this beach, but I don't like the amount of disrespect, mainly from ignorant tourists that leave litter everywhere. I'm an environmentalist and scuba diver. Already we (diving community) have become the unofficial caretakers of clearing/collecting rubbish under the surface, and most scuba diving schools operate a volunteer beach clean up. It's astonishing what I find on the beaches of the Maltese islands (lots of shotgun shells, where some locals kill birds (yes, illegal), but the government turns a blind eye to it. Police are ineffective in doing anything. Thankfully, that's not the case with Ramla, but apart from the litter in where my family upon leaving if we see any plastic or other rubbish whilst exiting we pick it up and dispose of it responsibly in the so called "recycling bins" If you like small/medium rocks with sand, then choose the middle and left side of the beach, soft sand and clear entry into the sea, right side of the beach.

There are also several outlets with bathing suits and floaties and things like that if you forgot yours. The road to get there was a little bit harrowing for those of us that don't drive On the left hand of the road because the streets are very narrow and they are two way streets!!! Put all in all a very nice experience. HowEver there are a lot of rocks in the sand so it's hard to figure out where to put your towel if you decide not to get one of the...
Read moreRamla Bay is a beautiful beach located on the northern coast of Malta, a small Mediterranean island country in Europe. The bay is situated on the outskirts of the small village of Xaghra, in the island of Gozo, which is the second largest island of Malta. The beach itself is famous for its unique reddish-golden sand, which sets it apart from most other beaches in Malta.
