Mgarr ix-Xini is reputed to be
one of the harbours used by the Knights' galleys, and lies in a
gorge accessible from Xewkija
and Sannat.
The entrance to this natural cove is guarded by a tower which was
constructed by the government in 1661. A tempting walk
from the bay to the tower through a restored ancient footpath is
beyond doubt a unique experience.
The bay is in itself the natural seaward estuary of a deep but beautiful
natural valley. It has a small pebbly beach with intriguing caves
on cliff faces. This secluded spot is ideal for swimming and very
attractive to divers.
One can dive to the purposely wrecked ferry "Xlendi" even
from this bay.
Mgarr ix-Xini is usually a quiet beach in Summer and therefore has
kept its natural beauty.
