For lovers of water activities Gozo is an absolute paradise. For starters, it is probably the best place in Europe for scuba diving with jaw-dropping sites suitable for everyone, from novice to expert.
The best snorkeling sites include San Dimitri Point in western Gozo, Wied il-Għasri in northern Gozo and the famous Blue Hole at Dwejra, a 25-metre deep hole that connects with the sea eight metres down through a submerged arch. For colourful sea life try Reqqa Point in northern Gozo or Xatt L’Aħmar in southern Gozo.
Kayaking, boat rides, jet skis and stand-up paddleboarding are also superb ways to see and appreciate the beautiful Gozo coast.
Relaxing in the sun is not the only reason to visit Gozo. The sea has written Gozo’s history and is an integral part of any visit to the island. A myriad of water sports are on offer in Gozo so there are plenty of ways to enjoy some of the clearest, warmest waters in the Mediterranean.

In summer, the easiest way is to relax on a glorious sandy beach. Ix-Xlendi Bay and Ħondoq ir-Rummien offer all sorts of fun-in-the-sea from banana rides to paddle boats and canoeing. Fishing trips, boat trips and yachting are also easy to arrange and very popular.
