A Gozitan Fishing Village

Xlendi Bay is found on the southwest coast of Gozo. It is located at the bottom of a very steep valley starting from the village of Kercem which is located very close to Victoria (Rabat), the capital city.


This popular locality is frequently visited by tourists, Maltese, and, of course, the locals themselves. The beach is small, but it is one of the best spots on the island.
