Malta's largest sandy beach, at the head of a wide bay in the north of the island. The prevailing north-westerly majjistral blows along the bay on most days, and the shallow water makes it the island's usual place for windsurf lessons and SUP. When the north-easterly gregale blows straight in, the bay turns choppy with small waves.
