Latest reviews on Gozo island's beaches

Ramla Beach
10 Avery Gardner

What an absolutely stunning coastline! During our visit in March of 2022, we were pleasantly surprised to find the beach relatively unpopulated. The convenience of available parking and complimentary public restrooms made our visit all the more enjoyable. With a handful of picnic tables scattered throughout, we were able to relax and bask in the warmth of the sun while listening to the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. It's worth noting that Ramla, the beach's name of Arabic origin, translates to sand - a fitting description for the endless stretch of yellow sand that awaits you.

This beach is a peaceful spot with stones, perfect for catching a stunning sunset view. We were lucky enough to spot some dolphins last night! I especially enjoy visiting in the evenings when families gather for dinner. The atmosphere is so refreshing and it feels like a community untouched by the modern world. You'll find plenty of rocks to explore and hidden corners to discover. Additionally, there are two small cafes and a smoothie bar on site.
