Wied il-Għasri, Għasri (Gozo)
950m away from the sand waves in Għasri

last updated: 19/04/2024

A limestone natural arch on the north-western coast of the island of Gozo, located at the end of the valley ‘Wied il-Mielaħ’. Unfortunatly it can’t really be seen well, as the passage only ends halfway through, however one can still see it. This arch got quite well-known after the collapse of the Azure Window, as people wanted to have a new main touristic site, so they expanded the staircase so that divers can enter the water here.

The area around the arch, is all characterised with steep cliffs and caves that one can explore. Nearby, there also is the ‘Giordan Lighthouse’, were there is a panaromic viewpoint of Gozo and the iconic sand waves of Għasri.

Only a 13 minute walk, takes you the iconic sand waves in Għasri, which were formed by the wind in many years. Highly recommendable for geographic lovers and people who like to explore and hike around. Along the coast, there are many other nice places to pay a visit, such as the salt pans and the beautiful beaches there.
