Horseshoe beach below steep clay slopes on Malta's north-west coast, reached by a long flight of steps. It's one of the few places on the island with surfable waves, when a north-westerly swell wraps into the bay after a spell of strong majjistral. The best sessions come as the wind drops or swings to the east. In summer it's mostly flat and busy with swimmers.
