San Blas Bay
San Blas Bay (Maltese: Il-Bajja ta' San Blas) is a small beach located in Gozo, Malta. The beach mostly consists of a fine, reddish sand. It is located 1.54 kilometres (0.96 mi) west of the larger Ramla Bay as well as 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of Nadur.[1][2] The bay is known for its desolateness and subsequent lack of intrusion.[3] The road leading to it is also famously known to be very badly maintained.[4]
