🌅 Where the Sun Meets the Sea: Sunset Magic at Ċirkewwa 🇲🇹✨

If you're looking for a truly unforgettable sunset in Malta, head to the edge of the island — Ċirkewwa. Known mostly as the ferry terminal to Gozo, this quiet coastal spot hides some of Malta’s most dramatic views, rugged cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, making it the perfect location to end your day in golden light.

🚌 How to Get There from Valletta
From Valletta, take a direct bus — routes 41, 42, 222, or X1 — to Ċirkewwa. The ride takes about 1 hour 15 minutes, but it’s worth every minute once you see the view. Buses run regularly throughout the day, and there’s even a small beach and diving spots nearby if you arrive earlier.

🌅 Why Come Here for Sunset
Ċirkewwa sits on Malta’s northwestern tip, offering open views of the horizon, with Gozo and Comino visible in the distance. As the sun dips below the sea, the sky explodes into shades of orange, pink, and purple. There’s something incredibly peaceful about being at the very edge of the island, far from the crowds — just you, the sea, and the sky.

💡 Sunset Tip
Bring a blanket or a towel, pack snacks or a drink, and find a seat on the rocky coast a bit further from the ferry terminal. There are fewer people, and you’ll feel like you have the view to yourself.

🌊 Bonus Stop: The Blue Grotto (Il-Ħnejja)
Although it’s on the opposite coast, the Blue Grotto is another must-see for nature lovers. Best visited in the morning, this sea cave is famous for its glowing blue reflections created by the sunlight hitting the water. You can take a small boat tour from Wied iż-Żurrieq, about 25 minutes from Valletta by bus (route 74). The earlier you go, the more vivid the colors — and the fewer the crowds.

💡 Travel Tips and Fun Facts

📍 Ċirkewwa is also a popular diving and snorkeling spot, with underwater arches and clear water.

🧺 There aren’t many cafés or shops near the coast, so bring water and snacks with you.

📷 The rocks at sunset are perfect for photography — bring your camera or phone tripod.

🛥️ While waiting for the sunset, you can also watch the Gozo Channel ferries come and go, which is strangely relaxing.

🧘 Ċirkewwa is a favorite spot for locals who just want to unplug and breathe. You’ll understand why once you’re there.

❤️ Why You’ll Love It
Ċirkewwa isn’t just a ferry point — it’s Malta’s peaceful sunset secret. No crowds, no buildings — just pure natural beauty. Whether you're chasing the last light of day or gazing at the endless blue sea, this quiet corner of the island has a kind of magic that stays with you long after the sun disappears.
