Parks & Nature
Magnificent views.
Maltese Garigue.
A 'must visit' for nature lovers.
Offers fantastic views of cliffs, valleys, deep blue Mediterranean Sea as well as peace and tranquillity and is well worth a visit.
The only way down to the secluded Fomm Ir-Rih Bay is via a rough, tricky and sometimes steep and slippery pathway taking around 20 minutes. Be aware that the return climb in 30°C (and over) heat and sun is not recommended for unfit persons, children and elderly.
When the winds blow from the north or northwest swimming is not recommended as it is dangerous with the rolling waves.
