Inland Sea

The Inland Sea, located in the village of Dwejra on Gozo’s western coast, is one of the island’s most unique natural attractions — a small saltwater lagoon connected to the open Mediterranean through a narrow tunnel carved into the cliffs. Surrounded by dramatic limestone formations and rugged coastal scenery, the Inland Sea has long served as a natural harbor for local fishermen and today remains a favorite destination for swimmers, divers, kayakers, and boat tours.

Small traditional boats regularly pass through the tunnel, taking visitors along the spectacular coastline where sea caves, towering cliffs, and crystal-clear waters create an unforgettable experience. The calm lagoon waters make the area especially inviting during summer, while the surrounding cliffs provide stunning panoramic viewpoints over Dwejra and the open sea.

✨ Tourist Tips:
