Lovely little beach . V clear water but lots of rocks and pebbles to negotiate when first getting in water .
There is a fun diving platform for teens and loads of restaurants and gelato places for ice cream and some nice looking restaurants too. You can hire kayaks paddle boards and jet skis too so lots to do !

Beautifully clear sea in this sheltered cove. Quite built up hence 4 not 5 stars but as long as you look out to sea it’s a 5! Plenty of places to sit and to dive. Toilets nearby. Restaurant near beach. Great place to spend an afternoon.

The cliffs and caves are nice, however the ugly apartments make the place as ugly as any other area in malta and gozo. Even there restaurant tables everywhere. It used to be a beautiful place a lot of years back, however it sucks now.

What a surprise ! Low key port/village entrance then wow . Loved the way people swam and lazed about in the port area safely behind the ropes away from the boats . Lots of good place to eat and reasonably priced .

Summer has arrived in beautiful Xlendi, but once again NO swimming due to contamination! Horrendous!

We arrived in Xlendi on the public bus (once an hour, 20 minutes from Victoria). We'd not expected much of the village but it was located in a beautiful bay set amongst amazing cliffs. There's a steep roped walkway on the cliff side of the village which leads down to a small cave and inlet, which is worth a diversion. In the tiny harbour there's a boat-hire company that offer boat tours. They do a 30-minute speedboat trip around the main caves in the immediate area which became the highlight of the day. It was off-season in early May when we visited and they gave the two of us a private tour (should be min 4 people at 10 Euros each, but they offered 30 Euros for 2).
Afterwards, we walked the 5 miles from Xlendi to Ta Cenc along the moderate difficulty and generally well marked route. You'd be hard pressed to experience a more scenic and dramatic coastline. Thoroughly recommended.

Xlendi Beach was beautiful and provided great views. What I discovered and had not heard about was after going up the stairs to get to the walkway that leads to the cave, is that there is a path that you can follow upwards all the way to the top of the cliff for an absolutely breath-taking view. It is marked with red arrows and dots, and is not to strenuous. The hardest part is the first 100 meters or so, but after that it is just a manageable incline. Very very highly recommend!

We were so lucky to have picked this location to spend a few days in Gozo, as it allowed us to explore the area properly. The Xlendi bay with its impressive cliffs is quite a site, both for sunrise and sunset.

Is Xlendi sandy when in the water or rocky?
Written September 15, 2019
It depends, at the branch it's Sandy. In the middle are more rocks.

Salve, vorrei soggiornare 3-4 (?) a Gozo e 2/3 notti sull’isola. Sono indecisa se stare a Xendli o Marsalforn.
Cosa mi consigliate?

Well this hop off hop on buses there are two types in Malta the red bus and the blue bus one tour to the south and another to the north of Malta,and there is one to gozo, when you buy the they pick you up from your hotel and each bus takes over 60 people it's one of those like the london double decker buses open upstirs and inside at the bottom enjoy to dress for these occassion is casual, but alwys carry a think jumper just in case you feel cold

Xlendi Bay has a small sandy patch were you can swim from but the sides are and you can also do some diving from it's a very pleasant bay to swim and the water is deep enough and very clear, and clean.

Hi Adam,
Could you please let me know how did you get there. We are going to Malta on Friday and try to find the best way to visit Gozo attractions without a car, as one of our friend said we do not really need a car to explore the islands.
Thanks
Colette

Your friend is correct! The public bus system there is very expansive, easy to understand, and cheap. We took a bus from the main station on Gozo (Victoria) straight to Xlendi. To find the path, you will see stairs leading up to a walking path on the right side of the beach. You will need to go up the stairs, and walk about 20-30 meters (I think) and look for a small red arrow painted on a rock to the right.
