About this Beach
The unusually vivid orange-red sand is entirely natural, the result of iron-bearing clay minerals washed down from the surrounding hillsides over thousands of years. According to Gozitan tradition, Homer based Calypso's island on Gozo and the cave above the bay is where she kept Odysseus captive for seven years.
From Nadur, follow signs to Ramla. The road descends through a valley.

What the flags mean
Beach Flag System
When lifeguards are on duty, the flags they fly take precedence over any guidance from this app.
Conditions are calm and safe for swimming. Low hazard — suitable for all swimmers including children. Continue to follow lifeguard instructions.
This flag pair marks the boundary of the lifeguard-patrolled swimming area. Always swim between the red and yellow flags — this is where lifeguards can reach you quickest.
Medium hazard. The sea has some swell, current, or other condition that warrants care. Weaker swimmers and children should stay in shallow water or avoid swimming.
Marine pests have been detected in the water — most commonly stinging jellyfish (brama, xortina). Swimming is at your own risk. Wear a rash vest if entering. Seek first aid if stung.
High hazard conditions — strong swell, currents, or dangerous weather. Swimming is strongly discouraged. Only strong, experienced swimmers should consider entering, and only with extreme caution.
The beach is closed to the public. Conditions are extremely dangerous — lifeguards will not enter the water to attempt a rescue. Do not swim under any circumstances.
Lifeguards will not enter the water.
