Ramla Beach

Ramla Beach is a charming, albeit small, beach located on the island of Gozo. It is known for its beautiful landscape and delicious sea. The beach is not very large, but it is wide and has a unique characteristic - its sand is orange in color. This is because Ramla Beach is the only natural beach on Gozo.

📅 Friday, April 3, 2026
Today is a poor day for a beach visit, and it is best to avoid the coast entirely. You will face frequent rain showers throughout the day, accompanied by very strong winds that make staying on the sand uncomfortable and potentially hazardous. The sea is extremely rough with high waves, and the water is far too cold for swimming. Despite the cloud cover, the UV index is high at 6.95, meaning you can still burn quickly if you are outdoors. With a maximum air temperature of 15.6 °C and a sea temperature of 15.6 °C, the conditions are chilly and unwelcoming. Please prioritize your safety and stay away from the shoreline today as the combination of wind and unsettled weather creates dangerous conditions.
