Daħlet Qorrot
A small, sheltered coastal bay on Gozo's north-east coast, known for its clear water, rocky shoreline and traditional boat shelters carved into the surrounding cliffs.
Daħlet Qorrot
Daħlet Qorrot is a small inlet on Gozo's north-eastern coast. The sheltered bay has a distinctive character, with rocky sides dropping towards the water and traditional boat shelters built into the surrounding limestone.
It is a quieter coastal stop than the larger resort beaches and is particularly interesting for visitors who want to see a different side of Gozo's coastline.
The bay is reached by a steep road down towards the coast, but the setting at the bottom makes the journey worthwhile.
