Fomm Ir-Riħ Bay is one of Malta’s more remote and rugged beach areas, known for dramatic coastal scenery and a quieter atmosphere than many popular sandy beaches. It is located around 7 km from Point De Vue and is best suited to confident walkers, nature lovers and guests seeking a less commercial coastal experience.
Because access can be more difficult than other beaches, guests should plan carefully and check conditions before visiting. It is a scenic option for travellers staying near Mdina who want to explore Malta’s wilder coastline.
